March’s Organization: Save Sarajevo
About Save Sarajevo:
SaveSarajevo is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide basic necessities to Sarajevans struggling under post-war conditions. Founded by Nevzeta Pitic, the organization aims to:
- Raise awareness of the extreme poverty left in the wake of the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War
- Utilize the Boulder Mountain Repair facility for fixing unused jackets
- Deliver unused and repaired outdoor clothing to those in need
- Raise money to further help families who need basic necessities like food, shelter and warm clothes
We accept cash donations as well as clothing. Consider donating your used outdoor clothing in good condition, or in need of repair. In partnership with Boulder Mountain Repair, SaveSarajevo will be equipped with repair facilities to handle things like zipper malfunctions, tears or holes, or velcro issues. Your donated jackets will be washed and repaired as necessary, then shipped to our facility in Sarajevo BiH to be distributed to citizens our organization has discovered are in need. Cash donations are an enormous help with our overhead! We have basic operating costs such as our rent of retail space in Sarajevo, employee wages, shipping cost, repair and washing cost, to name a few things.
