Description
There is a large Roma community in Zborov and a significant part of them still live in poverty and conditions that do not meet current standards. A person born in such conditions often lacks a chance to lead a meaningful adult life. This project has the ambition through an integrated approach, to help those people to get out of the circle of poverty and improve their position in society. The project is a direct follow-up related to already implemented activities and projects by NGOs and municipalities with the Roma community. Project development is based on participatory consultations with the local Roma community, Field Social and Community Workers, and members of the Local Municipal Law Enforcement Service. Based on these consultations, the needs of the marginalized Roma community (MRC) were defined. The project will cover areas of housing, employment, education, health, and non-discrimination. Area of housing and employment will be provided by direct assistance of the project partner “ZBOR-STAV”. In the field of education, health, and non-discrimination, two partners will have an active role. The project partner “Cesta von” will provide activities aimed at educating children and partner “Vyrovnávanie šancí” will oversee educating pre-school children and improving the reading skills of their parents.
