A survey The civil sector does not see the public as a potential source of financesSeventy percent of the Macedonian citizens have donated at least once for the needs of the community, mostly helping individuals. The fact that Macedonian poverty is not an obstacle for the Macedonian philanthropy is proved by the information that only 42% of the surveyed state the lack of finances as a reason for not donating for humanitarian purposes. The data were collected at the recent survey organized by the Institutional Development Centre (CIR) and the independent research company BSC Estec within the USAID project for strengthening the civil society. “Medjashi” raises money for its activities With phone donations against violence over childrenThis year, The First Children Embassy in the World “Medjashi” is selling Christmas cards made by children for the second time.
