Bringing Hope and Relief to Bosnia-Herzegovina

UW OSP is working with Islamic Relief Canada to bring hope and relief to Bosnia.

Islamic Relief started its work in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, where we delivered food, water, and clothes to vulnerable populations across the country. After the war, we established an office in Sarajevo and served communities to rebuild homes, schools, and provide Ramadan and Qurbani food packages.



Through our emergency and development projects, we implement food security, livelihood, non-food items, education, and psycho-social support. Islamic Relief Canada particularly focuses our efforts on single-parent families and orphans in Bosnia and Herzegovina.



Our current projects provide foreign language, IT, and Quran lessons to orphans and single mothers with the purpose of increasing their opportunity for higher education and employment, as well as agriculture and animal rearing resources to improve income-generating opportunities and food security.



Winterization efforts include distributing clothes, blankets, heating kits, and other non-food items to help families better cope during the winter season. We are currently distributing hygiene kits, sleep bags, winter clothes and boots to 3,000 migrants.
