Summary of project results

The project addressed the need of the organisation to improve its financial and organizational sustainability. As a result of the project activities more children, young people and parents got involved in the activities of Future for the Children Association. A broad range of donors supported its cause. The media covered the initiatives of the association and have contacted its team to follow the events. Many schools and kindergartens are now involved in the association’s initiatives. A strategy for the activities of the organization in the coming 5-year period was developed; the team recognized its goals and activities and new partners and donors were attracted. The association introduces itself with the mission and vision formulated under the project. Approaches encouraging the involvement of all members of the organization have been introduced and are applied. The dynamic development of the organization resulted in greater interest from its partners, i.e. kindergartens, schools, the media and donors. The main project outputs: • Strategy for the development of the organization for 2015 – 2020; • Mission and vision of the organization; • Campaign on child begging; • A leaflet related to the campaign and a movie presenting the development and emotions of the participants; • Future for the Children Award.
