Schueler Helfen Leben (SHL) is a philanthropic organization which supports youth projects in the South East Europe that are aimed at building peace and democracy in the region. So far, it has donated more than €15 million, financing more than one hundred projects in Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo. The way in which they collect finances for donations is rather unique: from 1998 onwards, SHL invites German disciples to take part in the project called “Social Day”; on that day, disciples may choose to work rather than attend classes, and donate their daily earnings to SHL. This year, SHL will donate a part of collected money to non-profit organizations which have a capacity to independently conduct projects dealing with improvement of the status of children and youth. A priority will be given to projects that will have an intercultural approach and will strengthen local community, and especially to those which will deal with rural areas.
