The International Day of Charity was conceived as a Hungarian civil society initiative supported by the Hungarian Parliament and Government in 2011, to enhance visibility, organize special events, and in this way increase solidarity, social responsibility, and public support for charity.
September 5 was chosen in order to commemorate the anniversary of the passing away of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 "for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitute a threat to peace."
In its resolution, the General Assembly invited Member States, organizations of the United Nations system, and other international and regional organizations, stakeholders, as well as NGOs of civil society, to commemorate the International Day of Charity in an appropriate manner, by encouraging charity, including through education and public awareness-raising activities. https://www.un.org/en/observances/charity-day
