2% of your taxes will help to find mums and dads for more abandoned children. For more than 4 500 children in Slovakia mum is just a word because they don’t live with parents. These children grow up together but alone at the same time, in children’s homes, because their own parents couldn’t or wouldn’t take care of them. Only a small portion of these many children are lucky enough to find a new family right away. A lot of children are hard to place in a family due to their age, ethnicity, disability, or other health condition. However, every one of them needs love, security, and acceptance which can only be given to them by loving and stable parents! How do your 2% help? Thanks to 2%, we: ● Found substitute family to more than 1 000 disadvantaged children ● Introduced professional families which currently take care of 1 400 children ● Give long-term professional advice and special therapies to more than 750 substitute families ● Professionally help more than 300 children from at-risk families to prevent them being taken away How to donate 2% to Návrat?

If the sum obtained from the 2% for Návrat decreased rapidly, a range of services offered by us would be at risk. ● 2% help when and where needed! In contrast with state money or subsidies, the money from 2% enables us to react to families’ and children’s needs much more flexibly. For example, they enable us to start working with substitute families on building bonds with adopted child immediately after adoption and thus form attachment from the very beginning. ● 2% are like drops creating a lake! Even a seemingly small sum is crucial for us! 2% donations from Natural Persons and employees made for 41% of all collected 2% donations in 2014! We would like to thank all the employees and Natural Persons for taking the time to fill in the Declaration and send it to tax bureau. This is still rare in Slovakia as more than half of all the employees don’t donate their 2%. Inspire others to helping and share the ,,Vyhlásenie“ (Declaration) with your friends. You can also help us by following our Facebook page and sharing the information. ● 2% gave us a stable income from Legal Persons as well. We would also like to thank our partners and Legal Persons who have been standing by us for years and also support us by their 2%, and thus contribute to our financial stability. If you want to become our partner, please don’t hesitate to contact us (trvaly@navrat.sk). We will be happy if you give the chance to support our NGO to your employees, too. The 2% donated by you will be used transparently and we will be happy to answer any queries about their utilisation. If you want to donate 2% personally or have any other queries about 2%, please contact us at ivana.bizonova@navrat.sk. For all the details and terms and conditions of 2% donation visit www.rozhodni.sk. Thank you!
