Achievements

Every road which does not lead to goodness is obliquity. Fund "Bošnjaci" (Bosniaks) started over the road of goodness back in 1997 when it was founded within the Party of Democratic Action of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order to restore, as a result of war suffering, lost human resources at least partially, and help young and talented in education and thereby increase the interest to stay and work in our country, it provided scholarship for a large number of gifted pupils and students from the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since 2001 the Fund "Bošnjaci" operates as an independent Waqif within Waqf Directorate Sarajevo, presenting contemporary way of waqfing, whose main goals and tasks are specified by waqfnama and other normative-legal acts.

Signing of the Contract on scholarship at the amphitheater of Gazi Husrev-Bey Madrasa in Sarajevo in 2005. From the very beginning of its operation Fund "Bošnjaci" has set scholarships as a priority, as the best form of help pupils and students in their education. Therefore, in the period since 2001 until 2006 the scholarships received 165 pupils and students for which significant funds were provided. This type of assistance, besides it made easier life of scholarships, was the impetus for achieving the best results during their schooling. Scholarship is the best, but not the only way to help young people in education. On several occasions, the Fund "Bošnjaci" was recognizing specific scientific research projects as strategic and provided financial support to them.

Gazi Husrev-Bey Madrasah in Sarajevo Among other things, Waqfnama commits us to specific financial support and assistance to Gazi Husrev-Bey's madrasah and the First Bosniak Gymnasium in Sarajevo. In the wake of the Waqif wish in 2002 was granted a portion of the funds for the renovation and reconstruction of these schools.

In 2003 for the first time they approved the funds for prizes and awards to new Qur'an hafizes, which later became a traditional activity of the Fund. In the first years of independent operation the Fund has contributed to the restoration of religious and other important facilities, destroyed during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina on the territory of RS.

Ferhat-Pasha Mosque in Banja Luka

In this way, the Fund has stimulated return of Bosniaks to their eternal homes, because the mosque is a symbol and soul of every bazaar, and when the soul is returned to the bazaar it is a signal that there is room for Bosniaks and hope for a new beginning.For projects of mosques reconstruction it is particularly important 2002 year in which the Fund participated in donating of funds for reconstruction of Banja-Luka’s Ferhadija, the mosque in Stolac, the mosques in Srebrenica, Gorazde, Mostar, etc.

In 2003 was financially supported construction of the memorial center and cemetery in Potocari, and renovation of Atik mosque in Bijeljina and Musluk mosque in Foca, while in 2004 was provided part of the funds for assistance in construction of a mosque in Bosanski Novi.

Memorial Center in Potočari Extremely difficult social status of Bosniaks is the result of the past aggression, genocide, urbicide, culturecide and everything else that this nation passed in the period from 1992 to 1995. Destroyed and looted private and social assets, dissolution or disappearance of entire families, and inability to return and ensure basic means of living are just some of the problems which a large number of our countrymen regularly encounter. Despite all the problems that Bosniaks have confronted during and after the aggression there also appeared a problem of prosecuting of a certain number of prominent members of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina which has set a new blow to Bosniaks - victims of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order to mitigate the heavy material and financial situation the Fund "Bošnjaci" allocated part of the funding for their families.

By The Great God we swear that we will not be slaves The work of the Fund "Bošnjaci" is extremely transparent so we can proudly go public with the realized activities and implemented projects.
During 2005 is realized extremely good cooperation with the Islamic information newspaper "Preporod", which has done much to affirm the role and objectives of our fund.

In order to prevent repetition of history, it is necessary to work on rising of cultural and national awareness of youth since they will be future intellectual power which will lead Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bosniaks. Bosniak intellectuals must be aware of the circumstances in which their people live so they’d know how to make correct decisions in the future. These were the main motives that have inspired us to organize a visit to the Memorial Centre in Potocari for a group of our students in 2006, to a place that preserves the memory of the greatest crime in Europe since the Second World War, and it's genocide against Bosniaks in the "protected area" of the UN in Srebrenica.

Srebrenica survivors have reminded our scholarships that the oblivion syndrome for a long time has been a distinctive line of collective character and mentality of Bosniaks, and for such irresponsibility we have paid too high price.

Signing of the Contract on a scholarship at the premises of the Waqf Direction in Sarajevo in 2007.

In the wake of this agreement awards for passed hifz were granted.

Besides all the activities carried out in 2008, special attention was given to the visit and the delivery of assistance to students returners. It is clear that the Bosniaks are second-class citizens on the territory, which includes the RS. Children of returnees are particularly vulnerable, which due to severe socio-economic situation of families but also due to the neglect of the competent authorities, are being denied a quality education. The devastating fact is that there in schools with a majority of Bosniak children is lack of basic educational tools for work and implementation of regular teaching activities. Fund "Bošnjaci" in cooperation with the organizational units of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, teaching personnel and parents of students collected data about the number of schools and students structure in order to facilitate in the best possible way education of one of the most vulnerable category of population in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We managed to secure books from a national group of subjects which we in the presence of teachers and parents, in a solemn way, handed to students of elementary school in Potocari, Srebrenica municipality.
