ABOUT THE ORGANISATION:
Mali Dom
Mali Dom (Little Home), founded in in 1997, is a
public institution of the City of Zagreb that provides
regular daily services to more than 100 children and
youth who are visually impaired, have other addition-
al disabilities, or are deaf and blind. It operates its
services in new and spacious premises, which offer
the possibility of further expansion of the organiza-
tion’s programmes. Through further development,
Mali Dom aims to become a role model in the field of
care for children with multiple disabilities.
In addition to its activities directly on behalf of chil-
dren, the organization offers assistance to families to
help them understand each child’s positive qualities,
thus building stronger family ties and greatly improv-
ing each child’s opportunities in life.
To date, more than 1,000 children from across the
Croatia have benefitted from this programme.
