Since 2008, backpacks are distributed to children living with their mothers in crisis centers in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. In the backpacks, there are, among other things, clothes, books, and toys.

Crown Princess Mary said: “I am always touched and happy that so many good people will help support this project. And in that way help give the many children who come to the shelter with their mother a helping hand. The backpacks are not a solution in themselves, but they can be a bright spot in an otherwise difficult time, and with the backpacks we show the children that we see them and think of them.”
