Ambitions

Our mission The mission of Charity organization Serbs for Serbs is to affect on consciousness of Serbian people through our projects and humanitarian activities, in order to develop better society for future generations.

Why Serbs for Serbs? We wanted to alleviate impaired spirit of Serbian people in togetherness and brotherhood help through humanitarian work and social aid.

Who do we help? We help Serbian families who live in the Balkans, have five or more children and live in terrible poverty. Under terrible poverty we define absence of one or more basic factors required for living: food, clothes, shoes, and safe space for living.

Why do we help? We believe that there is a basic need for one human (or a group) to help others in distress. A help is not only human virtue but also a Christian responsibility. By focusing our help on families with many children, we directly affect on their stirring toward becoming independent from social-dependable government programs.

What are our long term goals?

• family is ready to support itself daily and manage to pay all required expenses;

• their children are encouraged to continue with school and raising their own family;

• our donors are satisfied with the activities and they are ready to help other families;

• our organization is satisfied with the results;

• family is ready in the future to become our donor and if necessary help other families that are in need of help.

Who do we need in organization? We need members and donors that will secure financial stability through supporting our programs and activities in the future. Donors may join our daily activities within the organization in order to coordinate our work better. We also need volunteers ready to donate several hours per week for actual work within the organization. Activities of volunteers and their specific tasks would be determined by the required projects and their personal interest. From that group of volunteers we would look for future leaders of organization.

HELP FOR THE BABIC FAMILY FROM ZVORNIK

Milan, Nikola, Andjelija, Aleksandra and Stefanija

Babic with new school supplies

At the end of August, the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs reached out to help the seven-member Babic family from Republic of Srpska. Members of family Babic are father Nenad, mother Valentina and children Nikola (18), Aleksandra (17), Milan (11), Andjelija (9) and the youngest Stefanija (7). With the start of a new school year just around the corner, we decided to spend 540 KM on school supplies for the children. The children were thrilled, and we are sure they will have a successful school year. …………………………………………………...............

BATHROOM FOR THE DIMITRIJEVIC FAMILY

The Charity organization Serbs for Serbs helped a twelve-member family Dimitrijevic from Nova Varos in Serbia, within the project "Trojka iz bloka", by providing the necessary material for the bathroom.

We hope that the bathroom will be finished until the beginning of winter, before the snow.

…………………………………………………………...

SFS HELPED FAMILY VUJEVIC

Charity organization Serbs for Serbs helped a twelve-member family Vujevic from the village Gornji Lokanj near Zvornik. The family needs help in building a house floor, so that the children could get their rooms.

SFS RAISED DONATION ON THE LABOR DAY

On the last official weekend of summer and at the last official summer event, the Chicago branch of Serbs for Serbs attended the Labor Day Picnic at Nova Gracanica Monastery. With wonderful weather and a good turn-out, we were able to collect $837 for the Antic family. The day was also marked by an amazing performance by the Folklore ensemble 14. Oktobar visiting from Krusevac.

Again, we met many new people and ran into old friends, but more and more, we are having people tell us that they are already following our charity work online and are familiar with our projects. This was clearly apparent with over 280,000 visits to our Serbian and English web sites last month!! We will continue to do all we can to help as many families as possible. Once again, thank you to everyone that visited our booth and thank you to everyone that was able to make a donation!

FAMILY ANTIC MOVED INTO A NEW HOME

Charity organization Serbs for Serbs, with the help of its donors and friends, managed to carry through another big project in 2013 – moving a six-member family Antic into a new home, in Golemo selo near Vranje. After many years spent in an object which is falling apart, family, and above all, the youngest members, can live in a new home without fear that the roof might come down, or that the fire could destroy what is left of their home.

Family Antic in front of their new home Thanks to the donors of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs, the first installment for the house has been paid (EUR 2.000 and 500.000 dinars out of EUR 15.000). The seller of the house, Bosko Ljubic, decided to allow the family to move into the house, although the last installment would be paid in a month. It was very important for the family to get a new roof over their heads before the fall, so that they could prepare for the winter.

The family moved in during several days. All the things well preserved, and suitable for the future usage have been moved.

The old house in which the family lived is unfortunately only one of tens of thousands other houses in which children live and grow up. Miljana (16), Aleksandar (15), Stefana (8) and Dimitrije (6) carried their things and left their old house forever.

Regardless of the new house, the family will keep in its ownership several acres of fertile land and forest, which it will continue to use.

Thanks to Novica Cvetkovic, a friend of the organization who provided logistics, Dusan Djordjevic, a journalist who commenced the action of help through his texts, and Bosko Ljubic, an owner of the house, the family was warmly welcomed into its new home.

Charity organization Serbs for Serbs will continue to pay the rest of the installments, and within a month the documentation should be in the hands of the family. The house and the estate can't be sold in the next period. After paying out the house, we will try to provide agricultural machinery, and household appliances for a normal and decent life.

We use this opportunity to express gratitude to the donors and people of good will in the name of the Antic family members. Our organization often uses the expression: „children are our future“, and we will continue to do everything in our power to help even greater number of families and their children, because we truly believe that we contribute to the brighter future for the Serbian nation.

WORKS CONTINUE AT FAMILY PUDAR IN MOSTAR

Charity organization Serbs for Serbs provided at the end of April this year a construction material to the five-member family Pudar from the village Bun near Mostar, in the amount of 2.500 EUR for finishing the house. That was the first installment of the planned help within the big project of our organization in cooperation with the Charity Association Dobrotvor from Mostar, which will continue in 2013, in the value of EUR 1.500.

FIREWOOD AND SCHOOL EQUIPMENT FOR LUCIC

Representatives of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs visited during the previous weekend family Lucic from Cacak, consisting of a single mother Sladjana and five children: Stefan (18), Aleksandra (15), Jovana (10), Bosiljka (9) and the youngest Dusan (2). We have already visited the family earlier, and before this visit we provided 35.100 dinars for the school equipment and firewood.

During our visit they received firewood. Most of the children weren't at home at the time we visited them, so we couldn't take photos of the bought equipment. Mother Sladjana is a great fighter. She is working in a tavern selling barbecue, and she will try to buy that out when she provides the money. The oldest son and the daughters would help her later on, although they are helping her even now. Sladjana will try to get a social apartment in Cacak, which are being built.

VISITING FAMILY PEJIC NEAR SUBOTICA

Representatives of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs from Novi Sad, and the Ravnica Srpska Association from Subotica visited in September family Pejic from Gornji Tavankut near Subotica. Family Pajic is a refugee one, and it came from Bjelovar after the war in Croatia. The family consists of father Stevan (57), mother Milena (48), daughter Milica (24), sons Slobodan (22), Miroslav (20) and Nemanja (18). The sons work for a wage, usually on the nearby farms. The winter represents the worst period for them. The oldest son has a wife and a child, but due to poor life conditions, they live in Belgrade, at his wife's parents.

The house in which the family lives is located outside the village. They need a bathroom, which was settled in an object near the house, which is collapsing. There are water pipes at the location of the future bathroom, but some construction works outside the house need to be conducted.

During the conversation with the members of the family, we came to a conclusion that the family would like to grow strawberries on the piece of land they own. They could sell the fruit in the village, which is being exported to Russia. The investment doesn't cost that much, because they already have a well and a water pump, and they need foil and drip irrigation system.

The neighbor who is employing Stevan is willing to help them with the strawberries, plant protection products and mechanization. The land for the strawberries was a neglected land, because they only grew a garden near the house. Pejics told us they spend all the money they earn during the season on winter, so they weren't able to provide seed. The Ravnica Srpska Association wishes to get involved into the project, and provide everything necessary for the beginning of growing strawberries since March 2014.

We call upon all the donors and friends of the organization worldwide to support this and future projects of our organization by DONATING.

SFS VISITED FAMILY LAZOVIC ON KOSOVO AND METOHIJA

Members and friends of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs from Belgrade visited at the end of August family Lazovic from the village Banja near Zubin Potok on Kosovo and Metohija. The family consists of mother Valentina and three children: Bojan (12), Tamara (5) and Tijana (3). Their income consists of the family retirement left from the husband and father who died at the beginning of year in the amount of 18.000 dinars.

The family lives in a house which was finished while the father was alive on the outside, but the inside of the house has many deficiencies. They need bathroom tiles and sanitaria in the bathroom.

Tamara, Bojan and Tijana Lazovic

We call upon all the donors, friends and people of good will to contribute, in order to make the living conditions of the family Lazovic better, and make easier the growing of Bojan, Tamara and Tijana.

NEW SERBS FOR SERBS DONATIONS FOR THE GOAT FARM

Report from the Eparchy Charity Organization „Majka devet Jugovica“ Our brothers from the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs once again helped us and our project of the goat farm, and donated money for the furniture and appliances for the room in which the caretaker will spend his time. This is not the first time the SFS is helping the work of our organization and the families in any kind of help.

This charity organization, comprised of young and energetic people, is raising money for the large Serbian families, not only on Kosovo and Metohija, but across Balkan, wherever there are endangered Serbs. Although most of its members are abroad, far away from their home, they are together with their brothers in trouble.

The word „thank you“, even said for countless times, is not enough for the expression of gratitude towards this young people, their dedication and altruism. Let us all have such hearts.

NEW HOME FOR PECIREP FAMILY

Within the large social project, commenced by Mrs. Marija Milada from Munich for helping a single mother Zorica Pecirep, members of the Charity action Serbs for Serbs from Canada joined this action and provided over $8.500 for buying new home. Zorica Pecirep until recently lived in a deserted barrack without water, electricity and elementary living conditions with four children, Miodrag (17), Violeta (16), Vladimir (14) and Nikolina (11).

Mother Zorica with their children in old barrack Family Susko ceded a barrack to Zorica, without the obligation to pay a rent. The authorities decided to demolish the barrack, and the utility shut down the water over three years ago, because the family Pecirep couldn't pay the bills, so Zorica was forced to bring the water from a public fountain. The help Zorica is receiving amounts 125 KM. The oldest son Vladimir collects copper and iron. Also, Zorica sometimes cleans other houses for 20 KM, but that is not sufficient for a sack of flour.

Hard life in barrack for family Pecirep The Center for social benefit provided two meters of firewood last winter, but it wasn't enough so Zorica was forced to collect branches with the help of neighbors.

Visit of Marija Milada and friends last winter After an appeal in the media to provide the necessary humanitarian aid for the Pecirep family, Mrs. Marija Milada from Munich, originating from Rogatica (Republic of Srpska), came to visit the family, and started collecting donations for buying a house near Visegrad that could suffice the needs of children. With the promise of the city and municipality authorities to contribute if the necessary means are being collected, members of the Charity organization Serbs for Serbs and Serbian Network from Canada decided to provide the remaining means and thus resolve the housing problem of the family. After several successful charity actions in Canada, the money was quickly provided, and sent to the account of the organization Serbs for Serbs in the Republic of Srpska, which paid the seller. The remaining money was provided by the Serbian cultural-artistic societies in Germany and a vast number of the individual donors from Germany and other countries.

money for new home

Family Pecirep with Mrs. Marija Milada

The total price of the house was 17.000 KM (approximately EUR 8.500), which was paid during August. After that, the house was officially transferred to Zorica, and during September the municipality provided the necessary works in the house. The seller left the furniture in the house, the kitchen, wood-burning stove, TV and 7 meters of firewood for the winter.

New house for family Pecirep

Unfortunately, the family still has several problems. The mother and the oldest son are ill, and therefore they can't find permanent job. Municipality Visegrad promised to provide 300 KM of social benefit, which will be enough for the elementary needs. We call upon all the friends and donors of the organization worldwide to support the work of our organization in order to help the Serbian people, families, and above all, the endangered children.
