The city of Bihać is located in the northwest of Bosnia and Herzegowina. There we support the Radosti Druzenja organization. There is no institution in the entire canton that offers support for children with disabilities and their parents. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, people with disabilities are disadvantaged in almost all political and social structures. They hardly get any support from the state and this despite the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2010. Not much has changed since then.
Our partner organisation Radosti Druzenja (in English: The joy of community) works with children and adults with developmental disabilities aged 3-45 years
Their diagnoses are: Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism and combined disorders, with severe and mild disabilities. In the lovingly designed house in Bihac, there is space and the opportunity for children, young people and adults to do handicrafts in workshops.
In addition, educational and therapeutic professionals offer various activities and workshops that enhance the creativity and well-being of the participants.
STELP supports the facility financially and covers the fixed costs of the house, supports the cost of meals and therapeutic treatment so that the project can continue to exist.

For about a year STELP has been supporting the association "Radosti Druzenja", which has set up a meeting place for people with disabilities. In this article you will learn why STELP will continue to fund this project for at least one more year.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, people with disabilities are disadvantaged in almost all political and social structures. STELP therefore supports a meeting place for mentally disabled children and adults in Bihac.
