Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and food banks across the Canary Islands are making a pressing request for assistance for over 6,000 children who are enduring extreme poverty, belonging to families earning less than 500 euros each month. In light of this concerning situation, they are reaching out to the altruism of the Canarians to ensure that the Solidarity Telemarathon, scheduled for December 12 at Mercatenerife, is able to meet the fundamental needs of these children in the upcoming months.
