Together for children
Nose Day promotes the realization of a dignified life for children.
Time to Thank You
The board of the Nenäpäivä Foundation has decided to discontinue the activities of Nenäpäivä, as it is no longer possible to continue the activities in its current form. The foundation’s supporting organizations will continue their long-term work to help the world’s most vulnerable children in other ways. Warm thanks to donors and partners for their years of support.
What is Nose Day?
Nose Day, Nenäpäivä, is celebrated so that every child in the world would have a chance to a good and safe life. Every year, the happy campaign invites Finns to support the world’s most vulnerable children. Nose Day is based on the idea that shared humor helps to deal with difficult things and having fun allows people to come together to make the world a better place. With Nose Day charity can be fun and bring a smile to your face.
Nose Day raises funds for eight organizations
Nose Day’s assistance for those in need is reliably delivered by eight Finnish organizations whose long-term development cooperation projects support the world’s most vulnerable children in Asia, Africa and South America. Each organization has its own Nose Day projects to support children’s schooling, promote health, provide adequate nutrition, and create safe growing conditions. The expertise of the organizations ensures that the aid reaches its destination and that even a small donation can make a great difference. The Finnish Nose Day operates by the license of the British Comic Relief and Nose Day resembles Red Nose Day in many ways.
