About

Bosnia Trust is a community initiative that has been set up by young people and community organisers in London who are concerned about the plight of Bosnians following the 1995 conflict. The aggression by Serbian forces resulted in the brutal Srebrenica genocide, which claimed the lives of nearly 10,000 Muslim men and boys as well as other massacres throughout the country. The toll of the conflict devastated the economy too, forcing many to uproot and become homeless.  Job losses, destruction of farming, trade and local amenities, as well as separation of families and missing family members 21 years after the conflict, amongst other things, continue to trouble this community.

Most of the individuals involved with the Bosnia Trust have visited Bosnia-Herzegovina and have subsequently committed to help alleviate the suffering of the poor and needy inside Bosnia through a number of projects. The first of these is the Bosnia Cow Project, a form of animal husbandry with tremendous potential for sustainability and income generation for families affected by poverty.
