Established in November 2022, Sunshine Kids is a vibrant and ambitious Civil Society Organization (CSO) dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and communities. Situated in a culturally diverse region, our organization brings together a team of three passionate educators – two English teachers and one Computer Studies teacher – who are committed to addressing a wide range of pressing issues, from adult education and women's rights to student development and cybersecurity and environmental issues. Our members are strongly determined by taking part in different forms of educational projects.

Sunshine Kids is committed to education, sustainability, and gender equality for the empowerment and inclusion of all. Our annual Lungs of Kichevo – Krushino movement fights against deforestation by mobilizing the community to plant trees, thereby promoting civic engagement in environmental responsibility.

We run educational workshops for youth and adults on green skills, climate awareness, and sustainable living, ensuring accessibility for underserved groups. Our Be Her Voice initiative focuses on supporting survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), advocating for gender equality, and empowering women to reclaim their independence. We also provide free monthly consultations for unemployed women, offering career guidance and support.

This allows us, through our multiculturalism projects, to engage in the creation of cultural exchange and cross-border cooperation, thus fostering community contacts. We integrate sustainability, gender equality, and civic engagement into programs that make society more inclusive, resilient, with a voice for all, where everybody can thrive.

In March 2023 Erasmus+ call we were awarded with a grant for the project “Be Her Voice” together with our partner organizations from Greece and Bulgaria. This project is about Intimate Partner Violence and aims to raise awareness about the victims of IPV.
In 2024 we were awarded with a grant from the Municipality of Kicevo, our home town. The project called “ My colourful city” aims to join the multi ethnic values and traditions of all ethnicities that live in Kicevo, gathering people via different cultures, to raise empathy among people no matter their culture and religion and at the same time to cut down stereotypes as much as possible
At the end of December, we were awarded with another European project, under the leadership of the Macedonian Civil Resource Center. This project is implemented together with the Women’ s Organization “Bitola” from Bitola and it is called” For Menstrual Justice”. The aim of the project is to deal with menstrual poverty on the part of the high school students ( female) by providing available access to education, resources and support. The project is being implemented by 36 different workshops in Kicevo and Bitola.
