Since 2022, our youth-led initiative has been dedicated to fundraising for children in conflict areas through the sale of homemade crafts and donations. The proceeds are channeled to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to benefit children in war zones. 95% of all funds we raise go directly to benefit their cause, with only 5% allocated for our administration. We hope to reach $2,024 by the end of 2024.
