One of Our Children’s largest areas of activity is Independence. Our vision is to help orphaned youth and young people with disabilities become independent and self‑sufficient. We do this in various ways, often through different projects.
Since March 2023, Våra Barn, together with UG Naša djeca – Our Kids in BiH, has been part of the project “Increased Psychosocial Support for Orphaned Youth.” The main goal of the project is to support orphaned children and young people by promoting and protecting their rights. Since the project began, our youth have participated in several different activities. One of those activities was visits to local businesses. Among others, they visited the local wine producer Hepok Mostar. There, our young people were able to observe and familiarize themselves with the company’s production methods, technology, operation of wine-production machinery, and how the wine is stored, packaged, and sold.
Furthermore, our youth have participated in several workshops, also as part of the “Increased Psychosocial Support for Orphaned Youth” project. One of the workshops, “How to Improve Your Self‑Esteem in the Process of Securing Your First Employment,” focused on the importance of strengthening the socio‑emotional competence of orphaned youth. Much of it dealt with how the participants can become more aware of—and articulate—their own skills, what the concept of self‑respect entails, and more.
