Every child deserves support and a safe environment

ZImagine Serbia where every child has an equal chance to succed. At school, on the playground, at home - all children deserve support and a safe environment they need to grow, develop their talents and pursue their dreams.

However, the reality is different. Today in Serbia:

Behind these numbers are real children

  • only one in 17 people in Serbia is a child
  • 225.600 children live in poverty
  • 5.260 children grow up without parental care
  • around 60,000 preschool children live with developmental disabilities and difficulties
  • one in four schoolchildren feels sad once a week
  • almost one in two children aged 1-14 experiences violent discipline within the family
  • although 92% of Roma children start primary school, only 64% finish it
  • one in two girls from Roma settlements is married before reaching adulthood
  • 12% of children need additional support with learning
  • more than half of the most vulnerable children are functionally illiterate

Behind these statistics are real children - a boy who dreams of becoming an engineer but lacks access to the learning support he needs, or a girl who loves mathematics but requires additional support to reach her full potential.

Systemic changes for every child
