Key Club trick or treats for Swaziland

Key Club International will continue to support the Trick or Treat for UNICEF campaign this October, but with two new goals: This year, Key Clubbers aim to improve on 2006’s US$764,443.78 UNICEF contribution, and the funds will go The Swazi Children Care Project.

The Swazi Children Care Project establishes “Neighborhood Care Points” and trains community volunteers to provide health services, nutritious meals, educational lessons, and care to Swaziland’s youngest and most vulnerable children—those orphaned or otherwise affected by HIV/AIDS.

Trick or Treat for UNICEF has been a popular fundraiser for Key Clubs. Instead of asking for candy, participants collect monetary donations in the famous orange boxes on Halloween night or during other fundraising activities throughout October. The collections are sent in to the Kiwanis International Foundation, which Kiwanis and Key Club International service partner UNICEF.
