ABOUT US

We are volunteers and experts in various fields of work. Our purpose is to help children and support their rights. We are the promoters of responsible parenthood and a friendly, tolerant and open society. Therefore, we are those, who offer rich and dynamic projects and programs for children that give them new knowledge about different things, and help them get socially included. Our mission is to provide these children with a healthy and stress-free childhood. Moreover, we do not help only them, but their families as well.

Two major humanitarian projects:

  • ‘Sponsorship in Slovenia’ started in 2010 under The Association of Friends of Youth Ljubljana Moste-Polje. It is focused on helping children and youth from socially disadvantaged families from all over Slovenia. More: https://www.boter.si/en/
  • Chain of good people – The project is aimed at helping families with young children who are in need. We help them deal with the situation with a comprehensive assistance program that we have developed through years of working with families. The goal of the project is to connect children in need with people who are willing to help, with the intention of increasing possibilities for healthy development and creating equal opportunities for all children.

We have also preventive programs:

  • Multigenerational Center “Skupna točka”
  • “Dobro sem” – A mental health program for vulnerable groups,
  • “Rastemo skupaj”- the program under the auspices of ZPM Ljubljana Moste-Polje and with the support of the global network The Human Safety Net (THSN).
  • Project Connecting, Collaborating, Expert, Listened! or easy PSSS! has linked five organizations to a partnership to better connect and collaborate with us, raise awareness of our work, highlight the diversity of content we cover and the expertise of each partner.

We organize summer camps for students age 6 to 17 (7 and 10 days camps throuout the year):

Programs for Youth and Teens are also very popular, since we organize travel trips in Europe (every year we choose different destination). So far we traveled trough Italy, Denmark, Germany, France, Turkey, Greece, Spain, England…

We are happy to make other people happy – especially children. And to share happiness you must be happy yourself!
