IWC Funded Projects in 2020

Each year, the IWC raises funds at the yearly IWC Charity Bazaar and then distributes that money to charitable causes. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Bazaar was cancelled and IWC instead published the book "Belgrade Through the Eyes of Foreigners" to raise funds.
The focus of this year’s IWC Charity fund is COVID-19 prevention and relief – providing resources to help prevent the spread of the virus and also lessen the wider economic and social impacts of the pandemic. In February 2021, we selected three projects to whom IWC will donate funds and purchased goods for the 2020-2021 year: Project "Svratište za Decu", Project "Vršnjaci Vršnjacima", and SOS Dečija sela Serbija Foundation.
