Description About our Ongoing Projects

Winter Break for 50 children without parental care

After successfully organizing several summer and winter excursions for the wards of the Home for Children without Parental Care in Sarajevo, the Foundation "Second" will continue to enrich their lives with appropriate activities.


During the winter break in January 2024, we would like to organize ten excursions for children without parental care and those who are living in families at risk of separation. We plan to take them to Mount Bjelasnica in the Ledići Village, where the Rehabilitation and Recreation Center is located.


The program during the excursion will include winter activities such as hiking, sledding, and skiing, as well as workshops related to the prevention of psychophysical health issues. The success of these trips and activities depends solely on donations received by December 2023.

This initiative aims to support two important groups: children living in families at risk of separation and children without parental care. Through this program, we offer financial assistance and academic support to ensure that these young minds have access to quality education and a brighter future.


We proudly sponsor children in primary school with a scholarship of 100 KM per month, and for those in high school, we provide 150 KM per month in financial support. By investing in their education, we are nurturing the potential of our future leaders and fostering a more equitable society.
