ABC Children's Aid is a charity established in 1988 and is an Icelandic non-profit organization emphasizing support to children in developing countries. The aim is to provide permanent support to children through donations from Icelanders. ABC gives poor children a chance to learn and helps street children to a new life by providing them with a home and education. To support this work the ABC Children’s Aid has established a 2nd hand market for new and used goods. People donate goods which are then resold and the profit used directly to support the children. The market sells new and used products for a good price. The market is also frequently visited by people browsing, sitting down to read a book and to communicate with staff and volunteers. The market is not just a shop but also a place for people to socialize.
