When SVT's live gala evening for Children of the World ended, 41 million kronor had been collected.
"I am both grateful and proud of how fantastically generous we are in Sweden", says Nikki Amini, one of the program leaders in a press release.
Companies, organizations, and enthusiasts from all over the country have contributed. Torsby collected the most money among the three host cities that participated in the Startskottet campaign. Östersund came second and Umeå third.
The collection for Children of the World continues throughout the year.
