The Tunisian Association of SOS Children's Villages is set to launch a new program for collecting donations through major commercial spaces. According to Mohamed Magdich, head of the association, the program is awaiting official approval from the Prime Minister's office and is expected to be announced next week. This new mechanism will enable citizens to make financial donations and choose their value freely, which will be added to their purchase invoices when paying at large commercial spaces.
Magdich explained that this new system will not involve any additional fees or charges on the donated amount. The association is working to diversify its fundraising mechanisms, including bank accounts and direct electronic payment, in addition to the new program. This aims to provide the necessary resources to care for children and their families in need. The association is also planning to expand its services to reach more beneficiaries.
As part of its strategy to bring its services closer to donors and beneficiary families, the association has opened a new office in the ninth arrondissement of Tunis. This new office will facilitate communication and provide services to families and children in different neighborhoods. Magdich called on Tunisians to support the association, emphasizing that the village in Qamart will continue to provide full services to over 3,000 children.
The SOS Villages Association is seeking to develop its social work to reach the largest possible number of beneficiaries. Magdich highlighted several development projects that the association aims to implement, including providing school transportation to support students and families in remote areas. The association plans to provide small buses and rural transportation for 1,000 students in remote areas.
The association is also working to provide clean drinking water through a campaign launched last week to collect assistance for a project in the deprived area of El Mahrouka in the governorate of Sfax. The project aims to dig a well in a primary school, providing clean drinking water to students and 35 families living nearby.
Magdich emphasized that the association's projects require significant financial support from Tunisians. The association is committed to caring for 10,000 children, and its new programs aim to improve the lives of these children and their families. The association's efforts focus on providing education, healthcare, and social services to those in need.
The SOS Villages Association has been working in Tunisia for several years, providing support to children and families in need. With its new donation program and expansion plans, the association aims to increase its impact and reach more beneficiaries across the country. The association's work is crucial in addressing social challenges and promoting sustainable development in Tunisia.
