1.Who are children and youth from vulnerable groups

Do you know who the vulnerable groups are? Are you aware that they include not only the elderly but also many children and young people? Let us mention them in order:

Children and young people with disabilities:

This includes those with physical, mental or sensory disabilities who have special needs and require additional support and services.

Children and young people without parents or deprived of parental care:

These are individuals who have been left without parents due to a variety of circumstances. The latter may be of the type: death, accident or withdrawal of parental rights. They need support and care from society.

Children and young people from socially disadvantaged families:

These are those living in extreme poverty or with limited finances. This may be due to various factors such as unemployment, low income or lack of access to education and health care.

Children and teenagers living in institutions:

This refers to people who have been separated from their parents or families and are placed in orphanages, homes for children with special needs or other institutions for disadvantaged people.

Refugee and migrant children and young people:

These are persons who have left their home countries because of war, conflict, poverty or persecution and have arrived in another country in search of asylum or better living conditions.

Children and young people who are victims of violence or abuse:

This includes those who have been exposed to physical, sexual or psychological abuse, psychological harassment or exploitation.

The list we have provided gives just some examples of adolescents from vulnerable groups. Each country and community may have its own specific groups that need special support and attention.

2. 9 donation ideas for children and young people from vulnerable groups

Perhaps you have heard of crowdfunding? You may have participated in one or been an initiator yourself? If not and this topic is distant and unfamiliar to you, we suggest you find out a little more about fundraisingcampaigns.

A charity campaign can be planned by anyone through the PavelAndreev.ORG platform. It opens many doors, both for beginners and for people with experience.

  • Fundraising for educational materials:

You could plan a fundraiser to purchase textbooks, notebooks, backpacks or other needed materials that will help orphans have better learning experiences. An example of such a campaign is the Complete Knowledge Basket.

  • Crowdfunding campaign for toys and books:

Organize a crowdfunding campaign, the funds from which can be used to purchase toys and books that will help these children have fun and develop their imagination.

  • Crowdfunding for sports items:

If possible, plan group funding to supply sports equipment or gear. This will allow children and young people from vulnerable groups to engage in physical activity. An example of such a campaign is Happy Hands

  • Organising a fundraising campaign to purchase musical instruments:

Plan a charity fundraising campaign to purchase musical instruments such as guitars, pianos or drums. This will allow these children and young people to develop their talents and skills.

  • Fundraising campaign for computers and technology:

  • Charity to provide food:

You could consider organising a charity fund raiser to provide food or food vouchers. These will help children and young people from vulnerable groups get nutritious food. Don't hesitate to explore the conditions and how to start your own fundraising campaign to support such a cause.

You can organize a fundraising campaign to purchase clothes, shoes and accessories that can help these minors dress appropriately and feel good.

  • Donation campaign for education:

Financial assistance can also be planned in the form of a campaign to raise funds for the education of children and youth from vulnerable groups.

5.How to plan a fundraising campaign for children and youth?

If we were to systematize everything into one list concerning a fundraising campaign for children and youth from vulnerable groups, it could include the following points:

  • Decide who the campaign is for - in this case it is children and young people, but anticipate whether you will be helping a specific person; whether you will be fundraising for a group of young people or a whole institution. You should be clear on this point before you start the campaign itself;
  • How much money you will need - here, of course, you need to be clear about what you are raising money for. Whether the funds will benefit education; whether your charity campaign will support the purchase of equipment and/or furnishings; whether you are doing a crowdfunding drive to support the healthcare of vulnerable children or something else;
  • Set an end date for the campaign - it is important that the charitable cause has a beginning and an end. When you create a sense of urgency, donors are more likely to act on the moment;
  • Access to the funds raised - consider whether you will periodically withdraw the funds raised or whether this will be done once, at the end of the crowdfunding campaign;
  • How you plan to advertise the campaign - consider whether you will only promote it online and on social media or also locally.

Once you have the answers, you can start on the PavelAndreev.ORG platform . It is convenient, effective and promising. It is for beneficiaries, initiators, donors, as well as for everyone new and starting their first steps in crowdfunding.
