A Mother's Dream: A Future Built Through Education and Opportunity

By Evan Griffith | Voulenteer

Husband Natmir and wife Nebehate support their four children only on the income that Natmir brings in from trash collecting, and the little social assistance they get from the government. This is not enough for six people to feed themselves, get proper clothes, shoes and hygiene products.

On top of this daily struggle to provide necessities, Natmir’s family is living in a house which desperately needs repair. Nebehate explained to me that only a couple months ago were they able to install a proper front door which they were missing before. But still the windows in their home are old and broken, and do not protect them from cold, wind, and rain. This exposure is dangerous for the children, especially when paired with improper nutrition and hygiene.

Despite their circumstances, the children in this family go to their local TIP learning center in Fushe Kosove to kickstart their education and allow themselves to pursue the professions they want for their future. I had the pleasure of meeting six year old Amar who wants to become a police officer, and his 10 year old sister Qendresa who wants to become a lawyer.

Children dropping out of school at a young age to trash collect for extra money is a big problem for families in Fushe Kosove. But when the basic needs of these families are met, the children have the time and the ability to go through schooling. With your help, Amar, Qendresa and their siblings can continue their education and build a stable career for themselves without having to worry about whether or not their parents can feed and clothe them.

“What I want is for my children to go to school, get a profession, and be independent someday,”

Nebehate told me. “I want them to achieve something for themselves.

Donate today and help make this dream a reality.

Thank you.
