The Tunisian Association for SOS Villages is set to launch a new program for collecting donations through major commercial spaces. According to Mohamed Magdich, head of the association, the initiative is awaiting official approval from the Prime Minister's office and is expected to be announced in the coming 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 currently supports over 10,000 children, including 3,000 at the Qamart village.
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 aims to facilitate communication and provide services to families and children in different neighborhoods. Magdich called on Tunisians to support the association, emphasizing its efforts to develop social work and reach a larger number of beneficiaries.
The SOS Villages association is committed to providing care and support to children and their families. The Qamart village will continue to operate at full capacity, providing training, education, and recreational activities for over 3,000 children during school holidays. The association's projects also include providing school transportation to support students and families in remote areas.
One of the association's major projects is to provide school transportation for 1,000 students in remote areas, which requires significant financial support from Tunisians. The association supports 10,000 students and aims to expand its services to reach more beneficiaries. This project involves providing small buses and rural transportation to help students travel to school.
In addition to its educational projects, the association is working to provide access to clean drinking water. Last week, it launched a campaign to collect aid for a project in the deprived area of El Mahrouq in Sfax governorate. The goal is to dig a well at a primary school, providing clean drinking water for students and 35 families living nearby.
The association's efforts to support children and families in need rely heavily on donations and support from Tunisians. With its new donation mechanism and ongoing projects, the SOS Villages association aims to make a positive impact on the lives of its beneficiaries. The association encourages Tunisians to contribute to its efforts and support its mission to provide care and support to those in need.
