The Tuzla Community Foundation invites citizens, associations and institutions from the Tuzla Canton to get involved in the development of their local community and to show how much they love the place where they live with small projects for the benefit of all!

World Vision is seeking to address this problem by soliciting novel ideas, concepts, and technologies to significantly lower the cost of safe, sanitary, and effective toilets. While solutions presenting integrated designs that address all three primary components are ideal, Solvers may also receive awards for solutions that only lower the cost of one or two components.

The "I LOVE MY CITY" Fund is a new initiative of the Tuzla Community Foundation, within the Community Development Program, which is implemented throughout Tuzla Canton to encourage civic activism and support initiatives and projects that will contribute to improving living conditions in the local communities. 

Citizens, associations and institutions from the Tuzla Canton, who have an idea how to solve key problems in their local community and who want to make positive changes in their environment through civic initiative, cooperation between public, business and non-profit sectors, can apply to this call.
