“This is fantastic news. With record numbers of people displaced and global aid being cut, the funds from the telethon are more important than ever," says Cathrine Bøe Gjesti, NRC’s fundraising lead in Norway.

“Building homes for displaced families” is the theme of NRC's application. Never before have so many people fled war and conflict, and never before have so many needed shelter assistance.

“For almost 80 years, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been a way for the Norwegian people to make a difference for displaced people. We are looking forward to joining another national fundraising effort," says Gjesti.
