That is what I believe, and that is why I decided to focus my research on organizations which do their best in supporting children in need. Soon, I came across the children’s home in Bijela in Kotor Bay, in fact the only one of this kind in the whole country. Since 1946 the “Dječiji Dom Mladost” in Bijela is taking care of children that are deprived of parental care and whose development is hindered by family circumstances and currently (as of December 2020) they accommodate 100 children aged between 2 and 18.

With the help of the Montenegrin government and generous investors, the children’s home Mladost in Bijela was able to modernize its facility and improve the standard of living significantly, bringing it to the same level of European standards in the area of educational institutions. Striving to create a healthy environment for the children to grow and develop various skills in order to prepare them for an independent life, the children’s home implemented educational and social activities, giving them the opportunity to engage in volunteering and work activities.

Combined with full time social support, high quality education and professional non-parental care, the children’s home Mladost lays the foundation of a bright and well-prepared future for the kids. So far about the “basic framework” of the kids and the exemplary work of the children’s home, but what is it now that we can do to help?
