Results for children - 2018

Thanks to support of our donors, UNICEF can carry out important activities to ensure better living conditions for the most vulnerable children in Croatia, but also provide swift humanitarian assistance for children in crises around the world.

Every kuna for children counts, which is why we use donate funds with the utmost responsibility. On average, 75 percent of donated funds is used to implement programmes for children in Croatia, and 25 percent is directed towards children around the world.
