AikBank supports SOS Children's Villages Serbia for the sixth year in a row
A donation of 65,000 euros will improve living conditions for more than 60 families and 270 young people
AikBank, the largest domestic private bank in Serbia, donated 65,000 euros to the humanitarian organization SOS Children's Village to support vulnerable groups and empower families in crisis.
This donation is a continuation of a partnership that has been going on for six years, through which AikBank provides significant funds for the "Strengthening the Family" program in Nis, through which children from vulnerable groups are supported and the living conditions of their primary families are improved.
A bank is not just a place where money is kept - it is a partner to the community. As a systemic bank with strong local roots, we choose to be a pillar of the community and support those who need help. With the SOS Children's Village organization, we have been working for six years to ensure that every child receives safe support and the opportunity to grow. It is an investment of the highest value, because we believe that only a society that cares for each of its members can sustainably progress.
Petar Jovanović, President of the Executive Board of AikBank
AikBank is our long-term partner with whom we are connected by an extremely beautiful and successful cooperation, based on trust and respect, but, most importantly, we are connected by the life stories of children and families who now have a brighter future. Thanks to their continuous support, we are able to contribute even more strongly to the creation of a safer environment for children and families who need help the most. We believe that by working together we can achieve lasting and important changes and we sincerely hope that this valuable partnership.
