Our project “Croatian Wings of Help” began on January 1, 2024, and has already brought incredible changes in the lives of children and young women in Tanzania and Kenya. This initiative, led by Kolajna ljubavi with the support of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia, focuses on education, mobility, and empowerment for the most vulnerable members of African communities.

We aimed to support young women striving for higher education, help future entrepreneurs start their businesses, provide greater mobility for children with disabilities, and ensure professional physiotherapy assistance for those in need. Today, we are proud to say that we have achieved that and much more.

One of the most touching stories is that of a young girl diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Thanks to this project, she now has a specialized wheelchair that will significantly improve life for both her and her mother.

A young boy who had to put his education on hold due to mobility challenges can return to school in his first wheelchair. His dream of continuing his studies lives on, and we are so happy to be part of his journey.

Through the “Croatian Wings of Help” project, we met Princess, a girl who lost her leg in a tragic accident. This initiative ensured that she didn’t lose hope. With the prosthetic leg she received, Princess can walk again. With a bright smile, she told us she wanted to become a doctor to help children when she grew up. Princess, we wish for your dream to come true!

For ten more children, a whole new world has opened up. No longer confined to the ground outside their homes, now they can explore their surroundings freely. In the past, when they needed medical attention, their caregivers carried them on their backs or in their arms. With the wheelchairs, they finally have the freedom and independence they deserve.

Every story, every smile, and every step toward a better future is proof that kindness and support can change lives. As we continue our work, one thing is certain – we will keep giving "wings" to those who need them most!
