On the 10th of December, CTW Events and Clean the World joined forces to host a memorable backpack build event at our new offices in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. This special gathering brought together partners from across Amsterdam to create a meaningful impact and support children in need.

Volunteers from ADA Cosmetics, Circular Plastics Alliance (CPA), and the dedicated teams of CTW Events and Clean the World united with a shared mission: to assemble 2,100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies for children in Romania. Each backpack represents hope, opportunity, and the tools to support these children on their educational journeys.

Kim van der Heijden, Business Administrator at Clean the World Europe, reflected on the event:

“Our events bring so much positivity to all those who attend. We are so proud to send these 2,100 backpacks to children in Romania to support them on their educational journey. A big thanks to Save the Children and Volvo for sponsoring this kit build. We cannot wait to make an even greater impact in 2025.”

This event marks a significant milestone for CTW Events. With this achievement, the 2024 total has exceeded 150,000 backpacks built—an incredible accomplishment that underscores the power of collaboration and compassion.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, Volvo and Save the Children, for their generous support, as well as to all the volunteers and partners who contributed their time and effort. Your commitment and enthusiasm made this event a success.

As we look forward to 2025, we are excited to continue working together to create even greater impact. Each step we take brings us closer to making the world a better place.

Let’s keep the momentum going—together!
