BPWL  Projects - Helping Others

BPW London's current project is to raise funds to help children in Bosnia.  Funds are raised by holding various fundraisers throughout the year, combined with some generous donations from our sponsors.

Situation

Many children are still having mental health issues as a result of the civil war.

Mental Health Services previously available in Belgrade are no longer available with the breakup of Yugoslavia. Services are now available at a great distance in Zenica.

Funding from NGO's (non-govermental organization) is no longer available OR funding is designed to meet the NGO's goals and these are often in conflict with the real needs.

Volunteer Program

A group of health professionals, as volunteers, came together to develop this program to meet real needs among particularly children.

Programs include: therapy sessions, workshops and celebration events.

BPWL's Role

Through fundraising we will be sending funds to purchase supplies for workshops and therapy sessions.
