SOS Bosnia was founded in 1992. Since then, the charity has delivered significant amounts of tightly targeted, personally delivered aid to those on all the different sides affected by the wars and the aftermath. In the process, it has saved hundreds of lives and helped thousands, in Bosnia, in Croatia, in Serbia, in Kosovo and in Albania. We'd like to say a big thank you to all those supporters who have made it possible.
