What is a Supported Charity?
In a Model United Nations (MUN) conference, the supporting charity is a non-profit organization selected by the event, usually one that reflects core United Nations values such as human rights, education, sustainability, or global health. Throughout the conference, the Secretariat and delegates help promote the charity’s mission by raising awareness, collecting donations, or organizing fundraising activities. The aim is to generate real-world impact while debating global issues — turning discussion into action. It’s one of the ways MUN encourages students not only to talk about change, but to take part in creating it.

At Casa Malice, humane, free care is provided in an environment with adequate physical infrastructure, offering housing, food, hygiene, sanitation, safety, accessibility, and privacy for the person undergoing treatment and their companion.
Currently, their main activity is focused on temporary institutional care. They house people in situations of temporary vulnerability outside their homes, during the period of post-bone marrow transplant treatment, referred by the Hospital de Clínicas de Curitiba-PR, for an indefinite period. |
