IWCK grants funds raised during the Bazaar are transferred to local organizations that help women, children, elderly and disabled people in need in Ukraine. 100% of profit from the Charity Bazaar goes to charity.
The Charity Bazaar is also the great chance to experience cultures and cuisines from around the globe. Every year various countries proudly showcase their handmade crafts, souvenirs, national cuisine, beverages, music and folklore. It is the only event in Kyiv where you can try Indonesian food, drink Czech beer and make a Christmas wish to Santa Claus at the same time and in one place.
The traditional setup of the Charity Bazaar will include:
- More than 40 embassies, each with their own booth selling national products, including food and beverages. This year 44 embassies confirmed participation;
- Cultural program, featuring national music, dances, and workshops, representing various countries and continents;
- Reselling donations collected throughout the year at IWCK booths, the Boutique (clothes, shoes, bags) and White Elephant discount shop (home appliances, books, CDs etc). Items for sale are new or previously used, but are in good condition;
- The Kid’s Corner, which gives youngsters a chance to take part in various craft workshops and traditional games;
- Delicious pastries and cakes at the Busy Bees booth;
