COLIBERI
OUR MISSION
Brightening the lives of children in need through colouring and creative expression.
Each day hundreds of children are forced to flee their homes taking with them nothing but the bare essentials. Though desperate for safety and shelter, they also need comfort, stability and hope.
We work to bring a little joy to their lives and some momentary respite from their harsh reality.
❤️
We create, produce and distribute playful and immersive colouring and activity books, imagined by children for children displaced by conflict and war, helping them to alleviate their stress and anxiety, to express their emotions and to find time to simply be children again.
We provide colouring pencils and crayons to accompany our books,
through our partnerships with suppliers in the art field.
🌈
Colouring hugely benefits children by helping :
-Reduce stress and anxiety
-Calm and soothe
-Bring a sense of well-being
-Boost confidence
-Stimulate creativity and imagination
-Encourage non-verbal and verbal expression
WHO WE ARE
Our inspiration to do what we do came from two little boys of 7 and 9 who wanted to help the children fleeing the war in Ukraine by giving them their own colouring pens and pencils. They both help design and test the contents of our coloring and activity books.
❤️
A fusion of the words ‘color’ and ‘liberi’ meaning ‘children’ in Latin, Coliberi is a charitable organization founded in 2022 in Paris, France.
HOW TO DONATE & WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Your donations help finance our projects and go towards printing more books and supplying more colouring pencils, to more children. They also allow us to support the work of our partner humanitarian organizations who help us reach the children most in need.
Our current fundraiser is for the children of Ukraine displaced by the war in their country. We are donating 1000 colouring books and pencil sets in the Refugee Centres in France thanks to France terre d'asile in partnership with Rougier & Plé.
Please help us reach more children and donate here.
