The International Day of Charity encourages us to reflect on the power of generosity and collective action in addressing some of society’s most urgent challenges. Established by the United Nations and observed worldwide, this day celebrates the spirit of giving that uplifts vulnerable populations and strengthens the bonds within communities.

At Waypoints, we recognize that charity goes beyond donations; it’s about creating safe, respectful, and supportive environments where healing and prevention can thrive. Our work supporting individuals and families affected by domestic, family, and sexual violence is rooted in the understanding that compassionate care and community collaboration are essential to lasting change.

On this day, we acknowledge the individuals, volunteers, partners, and donors who contribute to these efforts. Their commitment helps build resilience, foster dignity, and expand opportunities for those we serve.

International Day of Charity reminds us that each act of kindness (big or small) advances a future where everyone has the chance to live free from violence and harm.
