World Clean Up Day 2019

On September 21, bloggers and influencers across the world took action to address the global waste problem on World Cleanup Day. They organized and participated in cleanups in their communities, from parks to forests in urban neighborhoods and beyond. They called on the millions of followers to join the World Cleanup Day campaign to help protect our environment. Their posted content was shared and viewed by nearly 60 million people in more than 160 countries.

World Cleanup Day is the biggest global civil society event addressing the waste issue. It is aimed at raising awareness around the global scale of the mismanaged waste crisis.

The idea behind a cleanup is simple and inclusive. It is open to all, and every cleanup matters.

Earth Day 2020 by the World Influencers and Bloggers Association

On this 50th Earth Day, we used the Internet and Influencers’ power to change the World

Now, more than ever, we must ensure that the Internet of opportunity is available to everyone. The main global influencers united their efforts to the campaign of Earth Day. They seized all the tools and actions that they have, big and small, to change our lives and change our world, not for one day, but forever. The global coverage of Earth Day by WIBA reached 200 million people.
While the coronavirus may force us to keep our distance, it will not force us to keep our voices down. The only thing that will change the world is a bold and unified demand for a new way forward. We may be apart, but through the power of digital media, we’re also more connected than ever. 


Happy Children’s Day by the World Influencers and Bloggers Association

On June 1 many countries observe International Children’s Day. This year WIBA celebrated this holiday as Happy Children’s Day by focusing on a very important aspect of children’s well-being – a caring and loving family. WIBA promoted adoption, as it can give family, love, and a better future to a child deprived of parental care. 153 million children worldwide are orphans, as estimated by UNICEF. And all of them feel a lack of love and care they have never received. 

On June 1, influencers and bloggers worldwide called on the promotion of adoption to give a chance for a better future to millions of parentless children.  

120 bloggers with 12,4 million followers in total, shared posts, and stories to draw attention to the issue of children living in orphanages and foster care homes.

This important social message reached out and helped to raise awareness of around 2,7 million people all over the world.
