Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

We organise two convoys a year consisting of 6 Land Rovers towing 3.5 ton trailers to transport humanitarian aid from the UK to Bosnia Herzegovina. We work very closely with a local NGO - Genesis Project - in distributing this aid to schools, orphanages, refugees, disabled and paraplegic societies. We have carried out 23 convoys since 1997.
