"It is especially important to us that through this project we are currently supporting two orphans from Jablanica, who survived a family tragedy in the recent floods in the area. Their future is now more secure thanks to scholarships from Afterfund, which allow them to continue their education and the opportunity for a better tomorrow."

How Dobro.ba’s Orphans Afterfund solved a new emergency without an urgent appeal

March 2024

Dobro.ba creates their first Afterfund

Dobro.ba created their first Afterfund in March 2024, focusing on providing education support for orphans. It was a part of their existing orphans project that supports 100+ orphans annually in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After announcing it, people donated to the fund and donations got invested.

October 2024

Invested donations grow 13.4%

After 6 months, donations grew from halal investments on average 13.4%.

Donors got their dashboards in which they could see how much their donations grew, and the perpetual impact they are creating.

October 2024

Floods happen. Growth provides immediate support.

During the night of 3–4 October 2024 devastating floods in Bosnia cost many lives, including the parents of two children.

When everyone was panicking and fundraising, Dobro.ba had the profits to provide immediate stipends for these orphans.

Into the future

Fund grows and continues to provide support to other orphans as well

Donations stay invested to continue growing and providing help to flood orphans.

As new donors donate to the fund, the capacities are expanding to continuously support other orphans as well.

Afterfund Emergency Funds

A single donation. Continuous support for future emergencies.

Afterfund can help charities create emergency funds like Dobro.ba’s Orphans fund to prevent urgent appeals when the emergency strikes - whether that’s an earthquake, flood or something else.

Instead of being reactive and fundraising after the problem happened, growth from invested donations can provide relief without emergency fundraising, while the original donations can stay invested to continue growing and help with future emergencies as well.

This type of Afterfund not only helps an organization prevent urgent appeals, but also enables donors to get continuous good deeds, making them automatically participate in future emergency reliefs.

Into the future

Afterfund's legacy continues on 4 continents and 10+ countries around the world
