This project is a new hope to expand education and create new opportunities for the community. Our hopes for the new centre include:increased space for activities (e.g. 13 x 15m for each of two floors; a playground up to 40 x 10 m), parking 20 x 10m, design as a partnership with the community e.g. women from our SaPune social enterprise will sew curtains; young people to be involved in designing and creating murals with educational and inspirational messages. Indeed a chance to grow as a whole!

The Ideas Partnership through a careful examination at the most vulnerable community in Kosovo that is Roma,Ashkali and Egyptian, has selected 6 families (3 in Fushe Kosove and 3 in Janjeva/o), living in overcrowded homes and in constant need of support, at least with basic life needs as: nutrition, medication and hygiene packages.

We're working with the poorest community in the poorest country in Europe. Kosovo's Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians have poor attendance at school (96% have not completed compulsory education) which is cause and effect of poor health care, low employment, and a rubbish start in life for kids. Over the past four years we've worked successfully at getting these children into school, by offering resources like book bags, winter transport, academic support and a skilled mediator from the community.

Ensuring that when a father dies, his children's chance of education don't die with him. When a father of young children dies, it's always a tragedy. When the family was already living right on the economic edge and they are left without food in the cupboard, without savings and now without available manpower to earn, his children are forced out of school to earn for their families. This fund offers support to widows in the poorest community in Kosovo supporting kids to stay in school.
