World Children’s Day at McDonalds international charitable action is held by McDonald’s corporation since 2002 in more than 100 countries. The date of the action was timed to coincide with the anniversary of adopting by the UN Assembly the Convention on the Rights of the Child November 20, 1989. The action is aimed at raising funds to be used for charitable projects related to children’s health protection and improving their living conditions throughout the world. In 5 years the company raised over $124,000,000, donated for charitable aid to children in various countries. In Ukraine, the UAH 2.5 million, raised by World Children’s Day at McDonalds in 2002-2007, were channeled ti support 40 children’s institutions in 28 Ukraine’s cities.
Since 2005, the World Children’s Day at McDonalds is held in partnership with the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation. The Foundation’s considerable positive experience in implementing charitable projects helps to select medical institutions in the biggest need of help, making it as effective as possible. Due to the money, collected in the 2005 action, family rooms at the Oncology Institute at the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine were remodeled and renewed. In 2006, the Healthy Heart of a Child action was implemented, purchasing cardio equipment for 18 Ukraine’s children’s hospitals.
