We began as a collaboration of concerned citizens, non-governmental organizations, charities, and local businesses operating out of Miksalište refugee centre, in the Savamala neighbourhood in Belgrade. Here we collected and delivered clothing, food and hygiene items to the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers transiting Serbia.Prioritising our adaptability, we moved out of Miksalište to focus on the behind-the-scenes work of aid delivery in mobile teams around the country, as well as awareness raising and community engagement.Since then we have witnessed the official closure of the Balkan route, despite which an estimated 200 asylum seekers still arrive in Serbia daily, many of whom stop off in Belgrade city-centre. Here, we meet some of their most basic needs and offer them a moment of respite. We still provide them with essential aid and raise refugee issues with the public through external trainings, fundraising events and conferences.We have developed into an eclectic team who are passionate about providing humanitarian aid with respect to individuals of all backgrounds, whilst fostering a broader culture of volunteering in the places we work.We want these communities we live in and the communities we serve to be involved at every step. If you'd like to join us too, get in touch.Prijatno!
