The International Day of Charity is observed on September 5 each year. This day was established by the United Nations to promote charitable efforts and raise awareness about the importance of giving. It encourages individuals and organizations to engage in acts of kindness and support various causes that help those in need. The date was chosen to honor the anniversary of the passing of Mother Teresa, a renowned humanitarian known for her charitable work. The day serves as a reminder of the positive impact that charity can have on communities and the world, inspiring people to contribute to social causes.
