The new barn for family Lazovic
Charity organization SERBS FOR SERBS conducted another one in a series of projects of helping families with five or more children in Serbia. This time the aim was to build a new barn for meeting the economic needs of refugee family Lazovic from Kosovo and Metohija, which settled in a village of Garasi near Arandjelovac. The total value of the purchased materials for barn construction amounts 321,737.00 RSD. Lazovic family is planning to start a business of raising sheep on their farm that will provide them with a secure income in the future. Parents Zeljko and Milena have five children: Andjela (14), Jovana (14), Ana (9), Sekula (3) and Nina (3).

Two years ago Lazovic family bought a house in a village of Garasi, near Topola, along with two hectares of land. They live in an old house which they only recently manage to connect to public electricity and water supply systems, and do not even have a bathroom. The family lives of the children's allowance, which amounts 12,600 RSD per month, and occasional father's wages.
