ADRA`s Community Center in the Borča settlement in the capital of Belgrade was open in 2017. to serve „common good“ of the local community. In July 2022 it was moved to a new location. Its space is adapted to meet needs of children, youth and adults who are socially vulnerable and cannot access other service to meet basic needs and exercise basic rights.
The Community Center is a place where and from where ADRA implements activities for 3 groups: families from the substandard settlements meeting their needs related to education and livelihood; temporarily displaced people from Ukraine, and youth leaving the social welfare system (foster families, institutions) who are in need of support to transition into self-sustainable life.
How does it look like? Its 600 m2 is comprised of multifunctional space, children corner, room for meetings and an additional space that is being refurbished to serve the needs of the general community.
All programs of support are for local community and those accommodated in the Asylum center in Krnjača settlement, coming from other countries.
