Are you looking to make a positive difference in the world and support meaningful global development? Then Giving Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to take action. This movement is all about radical generosity, using the collective power of giving to drive real, impactful change on a global scale.
What Is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday, often described as a global day of giving or a global generosity movement, is held each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving: in 2024, it will be celebrated on the 3rd of December.
Since its inception in 2012, Giving Tuesday has achieved incredible reach, engaging 90 national campaigns, over 300 communities globally, and millions of acts of kindness. For MOAS, this day is crucial, as the donations received enable us to deliver life-saving aid and empower vulnerable communities around the world. This day serves as a powerful reminder that our actions have the potential to shape the future and foster the change we wish to see!
Ways To Give
Giving Tuesday has been inspiring people worldwide to express their generosity in different ways. You can make a difference by volunteering, donating, or raising awareness in your local community. Every effort counts, no matter how small! Supporting causes and organizations that align with your values allows you to be part of something larger, creating meaningful change one step at a time.
If you choose to support MOAS, your contribution will help us deliver therapeutic food to combat malnutrition, conduct safe frontline evacuations in conflict zones, and provide Flood and Water Safety and Fire Response Training in refugee camps, among other things. Together, we can create meaningful change.
MOAS Impact So Far
Thanks to the generous donations from our supporters and contributions from campaigns like Giving Tuesday, we have been able to sustain our vital projects and remain dedicated to providing life-saving assistance to the world’s most vulnerable communities during crises for ten years now. And these efforts highlight the essential role of civil society in tackling global humanitarian challenges!
Since our establishment, we have successfully expanded our operations across various regions, including the Central Mediterranean, Aegean Sea, Andaman Sea, Bangladesh, Malta, Yemen, Somalia, Ukraine, Syria and Sudan. This year, we continued our vital aid efforts in Sudan, delivering medical supplies and 52 tons of therapeutic food since April 2023 to combat malnutrition among vulnerable populations. Last year, we also provided 26 tons of nutritional supplements to Yemen, significantly impacting communities suffering from malnutrition and conflict and saving thousands of lives through our programs.
In Ukraine, we are the only NGO providing a frontline evacuation service, with 51 ambulances and over 150 medics and drivers. This work has saved about 60,000 soldiers and provided essential medical care to 28,000 civilians. Additionally, in Bangladesh, our Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) initiatives have trained over 12,450 volunteers in water safety and fire response within Rohingya refugee camps. In March, we also opened a new Information and Learning Center at Malta’s Hal Far Hangar Open Center (HOC), providing educational and development resources to support the integration of asylum seekers and migrants.
