February 19, 2010 – The Great country individual donor program has its first successful project. The creative workshops Majáčík have received the full sum of money necessary for their project. Six more projects have fundraised the minimum of finances necessary for their launch.
The Majáčik creative workshops is the first project of the Great country program that fundraised the full sum of money necessary for the project to be realized. It was made possible thanks to the generosity of 8 donors, who took interest in the stories of abused women and children. Altogether they donated 180 EUR. Female clients and children in the crisis centre Maják come from socially underprivileged families, have been subjects to domestic violence, their bonds among each other have been broken and need to find a way back to themselves. The creative workshops offer them the possibility to develop their basic human abilities such as self-recognition, self-expression, self-confidence and thus gain the missing positive stimulus for life ahead.
Thanks to 2 579 EUR we will start realizing 6 other projects. We were able to fundraise the minimum finances necessary for the organizations to launch first activities of the following projects: The League for Human Rights – Give refugees a chance (501 EUR), Civic Association Against the Flow – Battle for man in the first line (695 EUR), Domka – Association of Salesian Youth – Missions in a Roma village (360 EUR), Depaul Slovakia – Breakfast and clean clothes for the homeless (262 EUR), Maják (lighthouse) – Art made by the hands of the deaf and blind (420 EUR), Civic Association Miazga – Building a playground for children (341 EUR).
