Help Empower 300 Women in Kosovo through Education

Summary

By helping to educate women in Kosovo about business, religious and racial tolerance, and how to work together as one, women can become beacons of resolve in their country.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Since the UN intervened in 1999, Kosovo has resolved to stop the violence between Serbians and Albanians, the conflict has become an International concern. As movement is made to once and for all end the conflict, but it is necessary for women's voices to be heard - as they are the strength that has kept families and communities together. We intend on ensuring that their voices are heard, and that those voices are educated and strong.

How will this project solve this problem?

The voices of women in Kosovo has been hushed for hundreds of years - however, we aim to give these women an education, a skills trade, and a voice in which to make their opinions known and help rehabilitate their country.

Potential Long Term Impact

As the UN continues to resolve the conflicts in Kosovo, ensuring that women have a voice and a contribution is vital. Through education, skills training, and trama counseling we offer these women that voice and help them find the strength to use it.

Project Message

Homeless, jobless and sick, we still had to start a life. I took so many medicines to recover but found no relief from my pains. The best medicine for me was Women for Women International’s program.
