Safe home for the victim's domestic violence in BH
By Ljiljana Cickovic | Director
During the reporting period, our organization worked on creating project documentation that must be adapted to the new location in which the City of Trebinje came to us. also during this period, we had contact with UN WOMEN donors in Bosnia and Herzegovina who helped us to secure additional funds through the Austrian Embassy in addition to their funds. They also made a video for promotional fundraising purposes. We had a meeting with representatives of the City of Trebinje, the Ministry of Family, Youth and Sports of the Republic of Srpska, UN WOMEN for Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Austrian Embassy, protection entities, OSC and the non-governmental sector, where we made a plan for further steps in order to realize a safe house.

Safe home for the victim's domestic violence in BH
By Ljiljana Cickovic | Director
During the reporting period, there was a change in the location for the construction of a safe house in Trebinje because the City of Trebinje allocated the originally planned location to a donor who in the meantime appeared with an offer to build a center for social work and with ready funds for the construction of that facility. As we still do not have the money collected for its complete construction, and that donor was looking for that very plot because it is located in an ideal location in the city center and on flat terrain, we were allocated another plot. I have to point out that our City of Trebinje does not have much in the offer of urban locations, so we accepted the same one, even if it is much more demanding to arrange. This automatically led to changing the documentation for obtaining a building permit, which automatically took time.

During the reporting period, we raised US$ 50,000 from our old donor OAK Foundation for the construction of a safe house. During the reporting period, we managed to bring the construction permit to the final stage, to sign the Agreement with the Mayor of the City of Trebinje, where mutual obligations and rights are clearly stated. A new donor event was also organized to collect additional funds, which will be implemented in the following period. I would like to mention that due to inflation, the costs of the same construction that we have to count on have increased (and in the opinion of the construction profession, about 30% has increased the price of both materials and labor services).
