Nordland County Raises Over NOK 11.8 Million in NRK TV Campaign for Atlas Alliance
Residents of Nordland County, Norway, demonstrated remarkable generosity on Sunday, participating in the annual NRK TV campaign and raising a total of NOK 11,898,225 for the atlas Alliance. The campaign aims to improve the lives of disabled people living in war and poverty, providing crucial support in areas such as education, healthcare, and emergency aid.
About the Atlas Alliance
The Atlas Alliance is a collaborative effort comprised of eight organizations dedicated to supporting disabled people. The Alliance focuses on providing access to essential services and opportunities, empowering individuals to live with dignity and independence. The funds raised thru the NRK TV campaign will be allocated to a range of initiatives, including:
- Education: Providing school books in Braille, assistive technology, and inclusive learning environments.
- Healthcare: Funding access to rehabilitation services, prosthetics, and medical care.
- Emergency Aid: Delivering immediate assistance to disabled individuals affected by conflict or natural disasters.
- Livelihood Support: Supporting vocational training and employment opportunities.
The campaign’s goal is to positively impact the lives of approximately 200,000 disabled people and their families across seven countries: Palestine, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Nepal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
Volunteer Turnout and Challenges in Salten
While the fundraising total is remarkable, Hanne Myrvang, County Action Leader for the TV campaign, noted a decrease in the number of “gun carriers” (door-to-door collectors) in the Salten region compared to previous years. this presents a challenge for future campaigns, as personal outreach remains a significant component of fundraising efforts.
– There has been a huge commitment with gun carriers and volunteering, but unluckily there have not been enough gun carriers around. We are not entirely sure of the reason for that, she says to Avisa Nordland.
Possible factors contributing to the lower turnout could include changing demographics, increased time constraints
