Lilli, 10, raises money for an orphanage in Ukraine – with candy bags

Ten-year-old Lilli has raised over 20,000 SEK for an orphanage in Ukraine by selling candy bags, with a goal to reach 90,000 SEK.

Lilli, a 10-year-old from Borlänge, has initiated a fundraising campaign to support an orphanage in Ukraine, inspired by her discussions about the difficult situations faced by children in the world. In just a few days, she successfully gathered 20,000 SEK, and after two weeks, she has more than doubled this amount, reflecting a considerable interest and support from her community.

Her initiative is coordinated with the non-profit organization 'Dalarna hjälper,' which will use the funds to purchase necessary items for the orphanage and deliver them to Ukraine. Lilli encourages other children to participate, highlighting the joy and impact that even small efforts can create for those in need. Her infectious enthusiasm showcases the power of compassion and the community's ability to come together for a humanitarian cause.

As the war in Ukraine continues, Lilli's efforts shed light on the pressing needs of children affected by the conflict. The project not only aims to provide material support but also serves as a meaningful way for young people to engage in philanthropy and develop empathy for others experiencing hardship. Lilli’s initiative is a heartwarming reminder of how even the youngest members of society can make a significant difference through their actions.
