1. Donation to the Home for Children and Youth Jefimija in Kruševac, Serbia

Dom Jefimija challenges:
Fixed government funding for buying necessities leaves little room for purchasing quality (and often expensive) hygiene products for the recipients. That is why young residents often have to settle for inferior-quality hygiene products. Although stuff can’t ever compensate for a parent’s love, providing some extra care can bring a sort of comfort and satisfaction to these youngsters.

We know that the Serbian government is doing its best to aid childcare institutions, but government assistance programs can’t cover all things. We believe that every child deserves additional care and kindness.

Our goal:
Raising funds to purchase products that will help maintain health and inspire confidence in youth. In response to that, we supported Dom Jefimija by donating hygiene products from leading personal care brands:

• Washing powders
• Fabric softeners
• Floor cleaners
• Soaps
• Toothpaste
• Shower gels
• Hair shampoos

COVID-19 restrictions:
We enjoyed meeting the new Jefimija director Nataša Maksimović and taking a walk in the garden while discussing the beneficiaries’ needs and future challenges.
