Testimonials

Miroslav Cuckovic

We want to thank the Ec umenical Humanitarian Organisation, which along with its partners arrived in Obrenovac with concrete aid projects for those in need just a month after the catastrophic floods of 2014.

Ivan Sekulovic

Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit, Government of the Republic of Serbia

EHO’s field work in the domain of social inclusion, in particular concerning innovative social housing approach es, has played a pivotal role in enhancing the living conditions of vulnerable groups in Serbia.

Herbert Stepic

Herbert Stepic | H. Stepic CEE Charity

What I like about EHO is that they are well organized and have a structured approach . They tackle problems that are neglected by the public social and welfare systems. This is why they care especially for street children and refugees. They know that these people would never have the chance to escape from their miserable situation without help and they are convinced that they can make a significant difference. And EHO is continuously aiming for more.

Angela Elminger

Desk Officer, Eastern Europe, HEKS EPER

EHO has proven to be able to do both, not only in the field of Roma inclusion, but also by building up a professional home care service that cooperates with an increasing number of municipalities.

Jelena Bobic

By offering them the love and attention they need we create a favourable environment for the child to learn in and develop their potential, because only a child that feels accepted and secure can progress and become the person they were meant to be.

Bernd Büscher

Youth Worker, Ev. Noah-Kirchengemeinde Dortmund

We value EHO as an enduring and reliable partner organization, from whose work and long-term experience in dealing with the social issues of its country we can learn and profit.

Michael Frischmuth

Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe

Where does the success come from? I would say that it is based on EHO’s values and the fact that EHO’s staff has embraced these values: Respect for Human Rights, equal opportunities and solidarity.

Johannes Flothow

International Representative for Diakonie Württemberg

Thanks to excellent work by its staff and the well-balanced support of a variety of church es in Vojvodina, even 25 years after its founding EHO
is still a young, living and dynamic NGO with a diaconal and ecumenical orientation.

Peter Merz

Managing Director HEKS EPER

For us at HEKS it is a good feeling that we can rely on a competent partner with a very committed team, we appreciate the trustful and open relationship. We are confident that EHO will remain a dynamic and innovativ organization, whatever the future changes will be. HEKS wishes EHO strength and success for the years to come.

Arne Engeli

“I know of no greater deed than to offer a hand to a man in need.” Sincere thanks to you, the staff of EHO, for your truly ecumenical humanitarian service (for which your organisation was initially called EHS: Ec umenical Humanitarian Services). You are still needed, after 25 years. May you go on for many more!
