Zdravo Da Ste

What Zdravo Da Ste does

Zdravo Da Ste (legally Udruženje građana "Zdravo da ste") is a citizens' association registered in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, operating through two programmatic pillars: the Children's Rights Program and the Youth Work Development Program. The organization delivers community-based services to children, youth, and adults in Banja Luka and the wider Republika Srpska entity, including the Otvoreni omladinski klub (Open Youth Club), Društveni centri i mjesne zajednice (Social Centers and Local Communities), the Festival Kreativni avgust (a mobile youth-work festival held in public spaces), a volunteering program, and a children's-rights monitoring and anti-violence initiative built around the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Its offering is service-based rather than technology-based: there is no proprietary software or platform, and the organization explicitly identifies as a civil society organization rather than a technology company. The organization produces and disseminates a catalog of educational publications, including handbooks on youth-work methodology (ORA Youth Work Handbook, Kreativni avgust u tvom mjestu), child-friendly materials on the UN Convention, and manuals on internet safety and peer-violence prevention. It also published a Cost-Benefit Analysis of Youth Centers in Republika Srpska (2020–2024) and a companion Youth Center Sustainability Initiative, signaling intent to institutionalize and replicate its model.

The operating model is non-commercial: it is a member-funded, grant-funded association with 5 employees and a volunteer base, generating no disclosed revenue from fees or sales. Channels are primarily grassroots and partnership-driven through memberships in national networks (M.O.C.A.R.T., Snažniji glas za djecu, Kuća ljudskih prava Banja Luka) and the pan-European O.R.A. network, supplemented by Erasmus+ international project collaboration. Customer segments — in the sense of program beneficiaries — are diversified across youth, families, and adults, with no disclosed commercial customers or funders.

Direct peers

• Nansen Dialogue Centre Sarajevo: A Bosnia-based civil society organization running youth dialogue, intercultural exchange, and civic education programs in BiH. Comparable in scope, target audience (youth), funding model (Erasmus+, grants), and small-team NGO structure.
• TPO Foundation Bosnia: Bosnia-based NGO focused on youth empowerment, psychosocial support, and community development. Directly comparable as a similarly sized, similarly funded civil society organization serving overlapping youth and community segments in the same geography.
• Kuća ljudskih prava Banja Luka (Human Rights House Banja Luka): A Banja Luka-based human rights NGO coalition of which Zdravo da ste is a member. Highly comparable in mission (human rights, civic participation), geography (Banja Luka), and small-team NGO structure, making it a directly adjacent peer organization.
• Institute for Youth Development KULT: A Bosnia-based youth development organization running non-formal education, youth activism, and civic engagement programs. Directly comparable in mission (youth empowerment, active citizenship), funding model, and target beneficiaries across BiH.

Broad incumbents

• Save the Children (Western Balkans): A leading international child rights NGO operating across the Western Balkans, including Bosnia. Operates in the same child-rights domain (UN CRC implementation, anti-violence, child participation) but at far greater scale, geographic reach, and institutional funding capacity.
• UNICEF Bosnia and Herzegovina: UN agency operating in BiH focused on child rights, child protection, and youth development. Works on overlapping mandates (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, anti-violence) but as a multilateral with vastly greater resources and policy influence.
• Plan International (Western Balkans): International child rights and gender equality organization active across the Western Balkans. Comparable in child-rights, youth-empowerment programming and UN CRC advocacy but operates globally with institutional-scale resources.
• SOS Children's Villages Bosnia and Herzegovina: International child welfare organization operating residential and community-based programs for vulnerable children in BiH. Comparable in child protection and youth development mission but with institutional scale and global brand.
• Caritas Bosnia and Herzegovina: A faith-based social services and humanitarian organization with national reach in BiH. Comparable in community-based social services, youth support, and volunteer-driven programs but with a broader social welfare scope and significantly larger footprint.

Emerging players

• European Youth Forum: European umbrella organization representing youth organizations and advocating for youth policy across Europe. Comparable in youth-work methodology development and Erasmus+ ecosystem participation, but operates as a federation rather than a direct service provider.
