Life abroad, love for the homeland, and the desire to help those most in need inspired a group of enthusiasts born in Montenegro to establish the Humanitarian organization “Porijeklo.”
A community united by faith and the idea of togetherness
This humanitarian organization, founded in 2022, is guided by the idea of togetherness in its original meaning and represents a community of people brought together through faith. It currently has around 80 members and strives to help as many people as possible.
Above all, “Porijeklo” is a nonprofit organization of people whose paths came together through the shared idea of helping others. 
Although it has existed for only a few years, it has already carried out several successful actions. Its members have sent aid to soup kitchens, provided scholarships, and helped the materially vulnerable, as much as they were able.

A new gathering and Donor Evening has been scheduled for June 6, 2026, at 7 p.m. at St. Stefan Dečanski Church, located on Leland Avenue in Chicago.
