Emergency Aid for Puppeteers – Why raising Funds?

Unima is an international organization with members all around the Globe. Its main goal is to develop, promote and connect puppetry arts worldwide. The emergency aid funds are used to help puppeteers and UNIMA Members in times of extreme crisis, i.e. in times of war, natural disaster, economic emergency or serious illness. The donated money is distributed to aid puppeteers in the form of food, hygiene and medical products, the safeguarding of housing and to secure basic education. Only if the basic human needs like food, shelter and medical care are covered the art can survive to thrive!
