This holiday season, your gift can bring hope to children who have gone missing. Through our Celebrate with MCE campaign, every donation helps keep our 116000 hotline network running, and helps Missing Children Europe train professionals and open new hotlines in countries that don’t have one yet.
Children like Danira, who fled Ukraine and went missing across borders, and Laetitia, a 17-year-old girl who disappeared from Belgium to Spain, rely on our network to be found. With your support, we make sure no child is forgotten.

Corporate Gift Giving
On Giving Tuesday (1 December 2026), the global day of generosity, giving matters more than ever – time, advice, attention, or a donation (money, goods, blood, …). We believe that small gestures can create meaningful impact. Together with you, we are helping to protect children at risk of online grooming and exploitatio, by supporting stronger prevention, professional practice and protection across Europe.
Why Your Support Matters
Every year, hundreds of thousands of children go missing in Europe. Behind each number is a child waiting to be found. In 2025, the 116 000 hotlines reported 92 cases of online grooming* in missing children cases.
*Grooming refers to the deliberate process of approaching and gaining trust with a child through the internet or other digital technologies, with the purpose of exploiting or abusing them.
Your donation helps us:
- Raise awareness among children, families, and the wider public about grooming risks and available support.
- Equip professionals with better tools, training, and cooperation mechanisms to identify and support victims.
- Build partnerships with tech companies to improve prevention, reporting, and victim support online.
- Promote stronger policies and public communication to ensure grooming is recognised and addressed as a form of child sexual abuse.
- Strengthen knowledge and research on grooming and its link to missing children.
Every e-card you send ensures children in need have someone on their side — someone who never stops looking for them.
