On Monday 9 November 2026, Luxembourg-based non-profit organisation SOS Villages d'Enfants Monde (SOSVEM) announced the launch of its Giving Tuesday 2026 campaign, which will raise funds to support children and families in Nepal affected by the devastating floods of Wednesday 26 August 2026.
Taking place on Tuesday 1 December 2026, the campaign forms part of the global Giving Tuesday movement, which encourages generosity and social engagement as an alternative to Black Friday.
SOSVEM joined the initiative five years ago to raise awareness and funds for vulnerable children worldwide, particularly those without adequate care and protection, those affected by crises and those whose rights are at risk.
Through the support of partners, donors, volunteers and the public, the organisation said that it has raised more than €52,000 through previous campaigns to help children and young people affected by serious crises in Madagascar, Colombia, Ethiopia and Morocco.
The funds raised will support the emergency response organised by SOS Children's Villages in Nepal, helping children who have experienced trauma, displacement, family separation or disruption to their education.
The organisation aims to provide safe spaces where children can receive psychosocial support, participate in educational and recreational activities and regain a sense of security and normality.
The emergency response also includes assistance for affected families, through the financial support, distribution of school supplies, equipment for damaged schools and help to restore income-generating activities.
In addition, the organisation aims to strengthen the long-term resilience of local communities and improve their preparedness for future disasters.
SOSVEM encouraged individuals and organisations to contribute through donations, fundraising activities or creative messages shared on social media using the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #NoChildAlone, tagging @sosvillagesdenfantsmonde.
