Charity checks tend to be passed on the stage with words of gratitude and applause from those who receive them.
In Great Country we don't have a stage, but if we would like to personally thank to all donors from last year, we would need a stadium with 2393 seats! Just as many people donated through Great Country and because of it many great things happened.
128 888,12 eur has been collected from everyone! For 56 organizations, every donation means that you trust them and want from them to continue to do their job. And for that, in Great Country, we are immensely grateful to you.
How your donations changed Slovakia in 2016?
In Kokava nad Rimavicou they are buliding educational apiary for the children, so they can look into the fascinating world of pollinators in any weather. In Zajezova school, organization Zivica has built a biological sewage and completed an interactive garden. For these and other educational projects, you contributed especially during the "24-hodinovka".
In Bratislava's Kopcany young people under the guidance of experienced artists transformed part of the sports ground. From the former American rapper Notorious B.I.G., who grew up in very similar conditions as them, they came up with the idea that their rapper could speak Romani. Sprays for the whole painting were purchased from your gifts collected during #givingtuesday.
Highest priority (39% of gifts) was dedicated to the disabled and socially disadvantaged people. Severely disabled clients of Nezabudka centrum were going to swimming and to the hippotherapy also thanks to you. Deafblind from Majak enjoy themselves in the new studio, which was built in the garden. Civic association "Nepocujuce dieta" brought good news after more than a year of effort, when the Ministry of Health approved the increase in reimbursements for hearing aids for deaf children. Parents of autistic children could relax knowing that it is taken care about them at the autism center Andreas.Thank you for all of these!
