On July 28, 1994, in the most difficult days for the citizens of the BiH capital in its centuries-long existence, 58 citizens of Sarajevo – intellectuals, theater, art and literary employees, soldiers and police officers and ordinary citizens formed the Foundation / Association “Education Builds BiH – Jovan Divjak” , with the mission of children victims of war – our constant concern, which is a crucial vision that has discerned the essential consequences of war – the destruction of educational institutions and the collapse of the education system.

The association is at the daily service of children victims of war, disabled and talented children / youth, children / youth of the Roma national minority and those in social needs. The association – open doors, fully accomplished the basic part of the mission – we were first moral, and then material support to children, youth and their parents / guardians in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The association is not on the budget of state institutions, so it provides funds for scholarships: through membership fees, organizing concerts for humanitarian purposes, sales exhibitions, printing and selling annual calendars (we have been doing this for 28 years) and books, and through various educational projects and donations economic entities and individual contributions.
