Santa Claus in remote villages
The "Biz Birlikdəyik" ("We Are Together") team brought New Year's joy to the most remote villages of Azerbaijan by implementing the "Santa Claus in Villages" project, which is the third in number this year. This year, 1060 children were presented with New Year's gifts by visiting the villages of Jimjimakh, Sabunchu, Alasgar, Lekit-Kotuklu, Lekit, Gashgachay, Zarna, Armudlu, Ashagi Malakh, Kurkun, Geray, Susay and Uzunmesha in Zagatala, Gakh and Guba regions.
The goal of the project is to make children smile and feel the magic of the New Year.
During the month-long donation campaign, more than 2,000 gifts were collected, and gifts for children's education and development were purchased with the funds collected. Based on the principle that gifts should be suitable for children's psychological and physical health, the team organized the collection and purchase of gifts. This includes gifts that will contribute to children's development, such as age-appropriate toys, books, logic games and school supplies.
Within the framework of the project, toys, warm clothes and hygiene materials were delivered to the children living in the shelters "Təmiz Dünya" ("Clean World") and "İşıqlı Ev" ("Light House").
Santa Claus initiative was first launched by Camping Azerbaijan and the Kendabad platform to promote ecotourism and, inspired by them, has been continued to be jointly and separately implemented by the "We Are Together" team from 2021. The project also aims to jointly create social value and instill social responsibility among people by involving different individuals, people, institutions and schools. As part of this initiative, more than 8,000 gifts have been presented to more than 3,500 children since 2021.
Among the volunteers, more than 100 people have given physical and moral support to this initiative, including our loyal volunteers from another regions.

In addition, the support provided by municipalities and local representatives in the regions was of particular importance. Thanks to their help, gifts were successfully delivered to all the children living in the villages.
