Rebuild for Bosnia's mission.Our mission is help the displaced people of Bosnia Herzegovina rebuild their homes and lives. The displaced people presently live in collective centres for refugees, made from fibre glass and asbestos. Families have been occupying huts and shacks since their homes were permanently destroyed and their towns and villages cleansed of their own ethnicity. In order to achieve this we engage in long term solutions by building secure and permanent homes for the the most vulnerable.To date Rebuild for Bosnia has rebuilt homes for well over 1100 people.

Who we are:

Rebuild for Bosnia is a non-governmental, humanitarian and non denominational organisation dedicated to improving the lives of the most marginalised in Bosnia Herzegovina.

How Rebuild for Bosnia began:

The catalyst which gave rise to Rebuild for Bosnia was the devastating war which happen edthere between 1992-1995, a war which is now recognised as the worst war since World War II. The war devastated hundreds of thousands of homes, destroyed entire communities and villages. Due to the world wide press coverage the war received, emergency aid poured from Ireland to help the fleeing refugees. Emergency aid in the form of medicines and food were shipped to alleviate the suffering of almost two and quarter million people who became displaced as war quickly engulfed the entire country.

What happened after the war:
After a peace agreement was reached in Dayton, Ohio in August 1995 the displaced discovered to their dismay that they had no homes to return to and sought shelter in huts, shacks, disused houses and homes belonging to other ethnic groups.
Rebuild for Bosnia was formed to address the devastating need of the forgotten people of Bosnia Herzegovina offering them the opportunity of establishing new and permanent homes.

Forming alliances around the globe:
In order to achieve our mission, Rebuild for Bosnia has formed working relationships with partners on the ground in Bosnia Herzegovina thus enabling us to offer a professional, caring and efficient service. The charity has also formed working alliances with partners around the globe that highlight the plight of the forgotten people and fund raise to build new homes.
