President H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, attended the opening of Gragon Filipovic Jusa Children’s Home renovated by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) in Belgrad.

  In the 2-flat home, orphan children aged between 3-7 years and 9-15 years old who are in need of care from the first and second level, are staying. TIKA donated kitchen and bedroom furniture, as well as renovated the interior living space.  Outside the home, TIKA reorganized the playground, built  a small summer class and painted the walls with some cartoon characters. With all of these modifications Jusa Children’s Home became a peaceful and comfortable venue for orphan children.
