Schüler Helfen Leben (SHL) is a charitable organization which wants to support youth projects in South-East-Europe to contribute to peace, reconciliation and democracy in the whole region step by step. Our current balance: more than 15 million Euros donated and more than a hundred projects in Albania, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo.
Since 1998 SHL regularly calls on pupils throughout Germany to participate in the Social Day. For one day pupils will not go to school but work and donate their earnings to SHL. In order not to limit the participation of these young people to the one-day-action the selection of projects will be partly put in their hands.
SHL is looking for non-profit organizations, which want to use a part of the Social Day donations for a project implemented on their own. These projects should aim at a direct support of children and young people. We are looking for projects, which follow an inter-ethnic approach and strengthen local organisations. Especially in rural areas we see a particular need for more intensive youth work.
Projects from following countries in South-East Europe can apply: Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and UNMIK Kosovo.
We are looking forward to hearing about your ideas!
