A helping hand to the family of Ilaz - Providing hope stability, and a chance for a better tomorrow

In the small, historic town of Janjeva, lives the family of Ilaz – a hardworking father, a devoted husband, and a man doing his best to care for his wife and their two young children despite limited opportunities. Like many families from marginalized backgrounds in Kosovo, Ilaz's family has faced long-term unemployment, social exclusion, and financial insecurity. With only one small income source from occasional seasonal labor, the family was struggling to meet even their basic needs.

When the project “A Helping Hand to Six Families in Need” began, Ilaz's family was selected as one of the beneficiaries. Through this support, they began to feel seen, heard, and—most importantly—supported.

Thanks to the donations from kind individuals through GlobalGiving, the family received monthly food packages, hygiene supplies, and school materials for the children. For the first time in a long time, Ilaz and his wife didn’t have to choose between buying food or paying for their children's school essentials.

But the help went beyond material support. Our team worked closely with Ilaz to identify potential job opportunities, encouraged community connection, and brought a renewed sense of dignity to a family that had long felt forgotten.

"This project reminded me that there are people who care," Ilaz says. "Now I see my children go to school with full backpacks and smiles on their faces. I sleep better at night knowing we’re not alone."

The story of Ilaz is just one of many. But it shows how even a small helping hand can make a lasting difference in the lives of families who simply need someone to believe in them.

By supporting this project, you’re not just giving food or supplies—you’re giving hope.
