FIREFLY DONATIONS PAGE

Firefly relies entirely on public donations - and, with no admin staff, all funds go directly to funding work with people, especially children and young people, affected by conflict and social division worldwide. The most helpful thing you can do is to set up a regular monthly payment, however small (£1.50 per month, for example, will pay for all the materials for one child to attend activities of their choice for the whole year). This allows project workers in Bosnia to build up a regular income and plan for the future.
