celebrate for change.

Across the globe, there are millions of children who don't know when they were born and never get to celebrate their birthdays. These kids are denied their basic human rights because they were never registered at birth. They’re known by development professionals as “invisible” because their governments don’t have any official record of their existence.

The Celebrate for Change campaign lets you celebrate the birthdays of these children as you celebrate your own. Throw a party that raises awareness about these children and collects funds for Free The Children’s Adopt a Village program, which helps ensure that children around the world are awarded their basic rights.

There are two different ways to participate in Celebrate for Change:

Group party: Get together with friends at school or at your community centre and throw a general celebration for “invisible” children.
Individual party: Throw a special Celebrate for Change party for your own birthday this year.

Whichever option you choose, Free The Children sends you a party kit with party invitations, activity ideas, and a colourful wall poster to track your awareness and fundraising progress.

Siblings Team Up for a Memorable Celebration
“Halfway across the world, children don’t get presents. I’d rather get a donation. We want to try to help people in third world countries.” That’s why 11-year-old change-maker Brennan Wong joined Celebrate for Change. “My 10th birthday last year was my most memorable so far. I realized that I could turn ordinary birthday parties into something meaningful by asking friends and relatives to donate to Free The Children instead of bringing gifts.”
