“A Hand to Youth” promotes the value of volunteering among young people by offering vouchers for food, clothing, and footwear to children and youth facing difficult conditions during Christmas and Easter. Since 2012, more than 3,500 families have been supported with €500,000 in aid.
KEPAKY created the “A Hand to Youth” program to inspire young people through volunteerism and to provide targeted assistance to children and youth in need. The program distributes vouchers for food, clothing, and footwear before Christmas and Easter, offering relief during important holiday periods.
The initiative is supported by school directorates and numerous shops, as well as individuals who express genuine solidarity and compassion toward their fellow human beings.
