OUR BENEFICIARIES
We work closely with a range of charitable organizations and do everything within our power to ensure the money we raise supports the young people in this country that need us most.
Last year, we funded 26 deserving charities that provide essential services and assistance to children in need. Through this funding, we provide access to quality inclusive services for children with disabilities such as Down Syndrome as well as early childhood development and interventions for children on the autism spectrum.
We help to ensure better protection of children from violence, abuse, and neglect. And we support children and young affected by disadvantages such as poverty, cancer, mental or physical illnesses, exploitation, and trauma.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina as in many countries, there are children living with trauma, abuse, illness, and neglect. For many, childhood is a daily battle, with nowhere to turn.
You can change this. And together we can change lives. We all have the power to transform a life. By donating today, you will be giving young people hope and a reason to believe in a brighter future!
