Payment description/note: "Donation towards buying a van".

The humanitarian NGO "Savršen Krug" was officially founded in 2011, but unofficially its founders have been doing humanitarian work, helping children and youth since several years before its founding. Since its beginning, it was one of the rare few Croatian NGOs which support urban culture and which are helping children and youth with troubled families or personal tragedies. The main founder of the NGO is Renato Milovan, also known as "DJ Reno", who has replaced his DJ-ing lifestyle with a lifestyle of helping his community after a critical traffic accident. Today, he is helped by dozens of collegues, musicians, street artists, dance trainers and other freelancers. The NGO also organises the UFBB festival of urban culture, hip-hop and breakdancing, which has grown into a meeting place for a wide variety of artists, with emphasis of bringing up the next generation.

Dance crews formed through the activities of the NGO have often been highly placed and have won major awards in international festivals, and this trend continues today through the education od young DJs.

Through its direct educational programs, the NGO has directly helped hundreds of children, and through its donation activities, this number is in the thousands. Since 2012, the NGO is helping the Children's home in Dugave and its subsidiaries, donating clothes for their children as well as the children of migrants passing through Croatia.

In our estimate, just from that activity we are clothing nearly 500 children & youth yearly. In a similar fashion, we are helping the Children's home Ivanec, with about 100 children, and we are also helping and working with NGOs Mali Zmaj, Život vjere and Dostojan život. We have a working relationship with governmental Social services, which notify us when there are families in need of clothing.

We collect and pass through about 1200-1500 boxes of clothing yearly, including a portion which goes to adults, and we are also actively and personally helping families in need of household items and repairs.

A huge part of what we do is travel. We need to accept and transport donated clothes, wash them, sort them, store them in a temporary warehouse, then distribute them to persons and organisations in need. Over the years, we have bought old, used vans which have regularly broken down too soon.

Unfortunately, all of the vans we had have broken down after 3-4 years, since we are using them very hard. The current wan, which is the only vehicle the NGO has, was bought in 2016, and it's a model from 2004. Today, it needs repairs which are much costlier than the van itself, and the winter will be here soon.

Our activities usually peak in the Christmas period, where we clothe hundreds of children with winter clothing which they would otherwise never have. Currently, we doubt the van will even start up when it gets colder.

To continue our humanitarian activities, we need to buy a replacement van. This time, we would like to buy a vehicle which would last more than 3-4 years, and even though we will still be buying a used vehicle, we want the van to last for a good 15-20 years if possible.

For this, we are asking for your help. Help us bring Christmas to children and youth in need in Croatia. Help us stay mobile during the upcoming winter.

We thank you for your support with all our hearts, and when you get the chance, feel free to visit us at the address: Veliki Gorenec 2, Bednja, Croatia.
