In a world that often feels uncertain, moments of kindness remind us why we keep going. Recently, our Charity for Balkan Children made its very first humanitarian delivery to the SOS Village in Macedonia—$1,250 worth of aid that meant so much more than numbers.
What we saw there was truly inspiring. The SOS Village isn’t a typical “orphanage.” Instead of big, impersonal halls, kids live in real homes with foster parents who care for them 24/7. It feels like family—complete with brothers, sisters, and loving guidance.
The village has 12 houses (11 filled with children and foster families), each one radiating warmth, care, and hope. From babies to teens, every child grows up with stability, love, and a sense of belonging.
And the foster parents? They’re supported with a salary, health care, and pensions—because caring for children should also mean caring for those who raise them.
This first delivery wasn’t just about aid—it was about connection, community, and a better way of caring for the next generation.
Meeting Their Needs
Running a place like the SOS Village in Macedonia isn’t easy—or cheap. Just keeping the lights on costs nearly 1,000 EUR every month. That’s why donations are the lifeline of this community, making sure every child grows up in comfort and dignity.
Our Contribution
For our first delivery, we wanted to bring both joy and support. We packed toys—watercolors, soccer and basketballs—because play is just as important as school. We added backpacks and supplies to fuel education, plus pampers and laundry soap to cover everyday essentials.
Small things? Maybe. But together, they make a big difference in the lives of these children.
