Almost one fifth of Bosnians live in poverty, according to UNICEF this affects 170,000 children who live mainly in rural areas. Educational deficits are also a particular problem for children who grow up poor. With our project "Centres of Hope", together with our project partner EMMAUS, with whom we are working for the first time, we are giving tuition, remedial courses and hot meals to more than 150 of our six to 14-year-old protégés in three day centres.
