As part of our Sponsorship Programme for children in conflict or post-conflict zones, which has programmes in Iraq and Lebanon, we also have 'Svetlost - Light on Invisible Children', designed to financially support orphans or families in need in Serbia together with the Kraljevo Red Cross.
After 20 years, the war in the Balkans continues to claim victims: cases of children born with malformations have quadrupled, as has the number of carcinomas from depleted uranium. The NATO bombing in 1999 made over 250,000 people refugees, who fled from Kosovo to southern Serbia.
To minors and families who have lost everything in the war we ensure assistance and schooling together with our local partner, thanks to the long-distance support of numerous Italian families.
