Within the project “My hair your hair“, the “Heart for Children with Cancer Association” is organizing a hair cutting action and donating it for the purpose of making wigs for children with cancer.

Around 60 children of different ages develop malignant diseases annually in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The percentage of those who are successfully cured is at around 80%.However, the road to getting cured is difficult and painful, and to children, in particular to girls, one of the most difficult experiences is to facehair loss.

We would like to invite all citizens of Zenica and the surrounding area to come to SC Džananović, on 25th August from 12:00 to 18:00 hours and donate their hair for the purpose of making wigs for children with cancer.

For all those who want to donate their hair for the purpose of making wigs, it is important to say that hair needs to be clean, dry and chemically untreated and undyed, and should be minimally 30 cm long (ideally longer).

As of today we have made and handed over 23 wigs. The wigs made at the craft-workshop of the Association are accessible and are absolutely free of charge to any child who has sustained temporary or permanent hair loss, so he/she could regain self-confidence and successfully integrate back in their local community.

The project “My hair your hair” has also been supported by Amra Silajdžić Džeko who has donated her hair together with close to 1000 donors from BiH, the region and wider.

Partner of the action – SC Džananović Zenica

The Project My Hair, Your Hair is supported by the Swiss Government
