We have become a proud member of Eurodiaconia family!

Eurodiaconia Supervisory Board approved the application for membership of Covekoljublje/Philanthropy. Philanthropy is the 50th member of Eurodiaconiа, a European network of the 50 churches and Christian NGOs providing social and health care services and advocating social justice.

Philanthropy is active in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro in the fields of humanitarian assistance and emergency response, health care, agriculture development, education, and international development.

Philanthropy is founded by the Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Philanthropy responds to the spiritual and existential needs of individuals and communities by endeavoring to alleviate suffering and to extend love, faith and hope to our neighbor.

Philanthropy firmly believes in the power of joint work and networking. Eurodiaconia as a network enables exchange, learning, synergy, spreading of members’ common missions and international advocacy, and Philanthropy is eager to participate and contribute to this shared endowment.

Philanthropy can contribute with highly skilled and experienced staff, with an average of 10-years’ experience in diaconal work, both in emergency and development. Our team is dedicated, committed to teamwork, both locally and internationally, with significant experience in multi-sectoral partnerships. Philanthropy has more than a decade long experience in EU programming, and have had a number of successfully implemented EU funded projects. We also contribute with a large pool of partners, not only from Serbia, but also from the SEE region, and widely, including the US and Turkey.

Philanthropy hopes to increase its potentials for participation in European undertakings, as well as strategically develop in some specific topics, such as ex-convicts and public campaigning.
