Read moreWe have seen a gap in the welfare of Europe. Forgotten places where people live in inhumane conditions, where the social security network is insufficient and does not serve or take care of everyone. Please, in order to help these people, contribute to Loza Foundation so that we can make a difference.
The Loza Foundation charity was established in 2017 by Sabina Grubbeson as a reaction to the vulnerable, exposed situations she witnessed while she travelled around in North Macedonia and investigated the current state of affairs at various orphanages and institutions. The foundation was established with the aim and intention of defending the rights of vulnerable people, allowing them to feel safe and secure and giving them the option of a longer, healthier life. Loza will work to improve the living standards of children and adults living in inhumane, undignified conditions. For a social sustainable development in the poorest parts of Europe.
In the autumn of 2017, we started the first project, which is in Macedonia, at the Special Institution in Demir Kapija. In June 2018, we started aid projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The world agreed on the global goals, the first was no poverty. Loza Foundation will not leave anyone behind. In this film you’ll experience everyday life through some of the people living in extreme poverty in North Macedonia, their challenges and how we are trying to change their situation for the better.
