Podgorica, April 14, 2025 – Zapad bank has committed to donate €18,000 over the next year to support the "Učionica družionica" program, an initiative by the Udruženje Roditelji aimed at providing educational support to children from socially disadvantaged families.
This donation will enable continuous educational and psychosocial assistance throughout the year for over 40 children at the "Božidar Vuković Podgoričanin" Elementary School in Podgorica. The "Učionica družionica" program is also currently implemented at the "Milija Nikčević" Elementary School in Nikšić and the "Marko Miljanov" Elementary School in Bijelo Polje.
The donation agreement was signed by Lesia Vykhodtseva, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Zapad bank; Belkisa Zoronjić, Board Member of Zapad bank; and Kristina Mihailović, Executive Director of the Parents Association.
“Over the past decade, we have achieved significant business results, but we are especially proud to have become a reliable partner to society, present when support is most needed. Guided by these values, we have supported the 'Učionica družionica' program, which will provide over 40 children with better conditions for learning and development in an atmosphere of support and understanding. With this donation, we symbolically confirm that Zapad bank continues to strengthen all initiatives that contribute to a better, fairer, and more humane society,” stated Lesia Vykhodtseva.
Zapad Bank remains committed to contributing to the creation of better conditions for the development of the Montenegrin community.
“Supporting the education of children from socially disadvantaged families has been a key goal of the Udruženje Roditelji for years. This year, we have decided to expand this support to as many municipalities and schools as possible across the country. We could not carry out these activities without our partners, and we are pleased that Zapad bank has chosen to support both, us and the children in this way,” said Kristina Mihailović.
The collaboration with the Udruženje Roditelji in implementing the "Učionica družionica" program further confirms the bank's role as a reliable partner actively contributing to community development. In line with its mission, Zapad bank continues to improve service quality, build strong relationships with clients, and act responsibly in all segments of society.
