The IWCK Charity Bazaar, one of the most anticipated charity events of the year, is coming soon! For 26 years the international community has joined forces every December at the IWCK Charity Bazaar in order to collect funds for charity organizations in Kyiv and Kyiv region. Last year nearly 9,000 people attended the Bazaar and helped to raise a record-breaking 3,739,009 UAH. These funds were used to support 20 projects and 5 special initiatives aimed to help women, children, the elderly and people with disabilities.
The Charity Bazaar is also the great chance to take an unforgettable journey, experiencing the cultures and cuisines from around the world. Every year various countries proudly showcase their handmade crafts, souvenirs, national cuisine, beverages, music and folklore. It is the only event in Kyiv where you can try Indonesian food, drink Czech beer and make a Christmas wish to Santa Claus at the same time and in one place. What is more, the day is filled with a rich cultural programme, national costumes, a flag parade and a positive spirit.
The traditional setup of the Charity Bazaar:
– More than 40 embassies are participating annually, each with their own booth selling national products, including food and beverage. This year 43 embassies confirmed participation!
– The event is accompanied by the Cultural program (national music, dances, and workshops) representing various countries and continents;
– We collect donations throughout the year. All these donations are resold at our popular IWCK booths, the Boutique (clothes, shoes, bags) and White Elephant (home appliances, books, CDs etc.). Items for sale are new or previously used, but in good condition;
– The Kid’s Corner gives youngsters the chance to explore various craft master classes and traditional games;
– At the Busy Bees booth it is always possible to find delicious pastries and cakes;
– The Handicraft booth for those who appreciate creativity and original goods;
– Visitors can try their luck at Grand Raffle/Tombola, in hopes of winning valuable prizes including airline tickets, gift certificates for restaurants and hotels, gifts from the embassies etc.
“This is my fifth year that I am involved in the IWCK Charity Bazaar preparations. It is so nice to see how our event is growing, changing and bringing people together! Every year we are trying to invent something new for our visitors. This December we will not only raise money for charity and introduce different cultures, we will try to go more “eco”, select trash, reduce plastic and disposable plates. As we say Christmas in Kyiv starts at IWCK Charity Bazaar, come and spend this day with us!”, said Valerie Stulíková, President of IWCK.
Don’t miss the chance to travel the world with us and meet different cultures, united under one roof.
