Money-Box-of-Joy: Smile for Children in Bangladesh

In December, Money-Box-of-Joy brought Christmas smiles and practical support to children in Bangladesh. Thanks to your generosity, these small gifts were transformed into practical help that improves children’s daily lives and gives them a sense of belonging. It shows them that someone is thinking of them.

Younger children at village schools received school backpacks, hand cream and biscuits – simple items to make their journey to school easier and to help with basic hand care. Older children were given bed sheets, body lotion and biscuits – useful items for everyday life in boarding schools.

These may seem like small things to us, but they are gifts that genuinely help children in their everyday lives. They make school and life in the boarding schools easier, and they bring joy – that is exactly the purpose of the Money-Box-of-Joy.

Gifts for all, without distinction!

At village schools, we distribute Christmas gifts to all children, regardless of whether they are part of the BanglaKids programme. By doing so, we help to build healthy relationships within the community, bringing children not only joy, but also an important sense of equality and inclusion.

This inclusive support strengthens mutual care and a sense of belonging. Children all over the world are the same – even a small gift can light up their eyes, bring a smile to their faces and make them feel seen and valued.

Thank you for creating moments that these children will remember for a long time to come. Your support can truly change their world.

Money-Box-of-Joy – a reliable means of spreading joy

The Money-Box-of-Joy has been a savings bank for children for over 6 years. Every year we collect funds which are used to provide concrete gifts for all the children and orphans in the BanglaKids programme. And the word ALL is crucial. We do not want to create unpleasant feelings or tensions in relationships by giving gifts to some children and not to others. The Money-Box-of-Joy brings joy to all children!

The history and present of the Money-Box-of-Joy shows how individual gifts have gradually grown into a powerful collective action that supports unity and equality. We would like to address the occasional questions you may have about individual gifts. We see them as an expression of a personal relationship with the child you are supporting. However, individual gifts are not always the best way to support children in Bangladesh (see this article). The Money-Box-of-Joy ensures that all children, without exception, receive gifts.

Thank you for your generosity, love and support, which helps the children so much.

If you wish, you can contribute to the Money-Box-ofJoy and help the children to have a better winter and many happy moments.
