Charity Organization: Cans for Kids


Cans For Kids is a registered charity, formed in 1990 to organise the collection and recycling of aluminium cans in Cyprus. To encourage people to save their cans, it was decided to use the proceeds to purchase medical equipment for the children’s wards at Cypriot hospitals.

Since its inception, more than 25 million cans have been collected, and over €260,000 euros worth of equipment has been donated to the Makarios Hospital in Nicosia, which is the central paediatric hospital in Cyprus, treating seriously ill children from all over the island.

By saving your cans for Cans For Kids, not only do you help the environment, but you know that your efforts are giving something back to the community.

We’ll be at COMIC CON this weekend September 2 and 3.

Find us at Booth 10 outside Hall A.

Learn about the importance of recycling and how you can make every can count.

Volunteer:

We need people in every area of Cyprus who can monitor how quickly the banks fill up, so we can establish a regular collection. If you can organise collection in your area, even better.

We also need willing hands to sort the cans prior to crushing. This happens in Nicosia. If you would like to join us, please call.
