During 2016 German Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided assistance to refugees and migrants in Serbia through Caritas, in food, clothes, psycho-social support, activities for children and adults.
The aid of the German Ministry of Foreign affairs wasn’t directed only towards refugees and migrants in Serbia, but also to local population in need. Thanks to these funds Caritas Subotica was able to purchase: 10 baby strollers, 20 wheelchairs, 20 walkers for the elderly, 40 pairs of crutches and 5 single four-legged crutches. Through Caritas Subotica this equipment is available to the citizens of Subotica and surroundings, who need it, but don’t have the funds to purchase it. After the use the equipment will be returned to Caritas Subotica, in order to provide it to someone else who needs it. The equipment is also available for the needs of the refugees, accomodated in the Refugee center Subotica.
