Total population: 7 million
Total children under the age of 18: 1.5 million

Country Situation: 
There are about 6000 children in care, most of them in foster families. Мany foster families are older and there is a need for young families to be willing to become foster families. Also, the majority of children in care are Roma children, even though the Roma communities make about 2% of the whole population of Serbia. 

Towards Serbia Without Orphans:
In 2023 there was a first meeting with about 20 participants joining together in Belgrade to hear about the vision of a country without orphans and talk about steps towards it. In 2025 national movement in Serbia was launched. We continue to pray for the first steps of the national movement for orphans and vulnerable children in Serbia.
