My story

Final was born and raised in Janosh, a village of the Roma community. He lives there with his parents and three sisters. It is not possible for parents to find a job because of the high unemployment and the lack of education. Final loves to play football, but due to his physical condition he is not able to enjoy it. Final suffers from stomach ulcers and testicle hernia. Final needs medication but his parents don't have the money for it. Sponsorship would help him with that.

Final is supported by impact partner Kosovo stichting de Brug

What does a day look like: The children supported by Project Held in Kosovo live in extreme poverty. During the day they go to school and they also help in and around the house with chores and in the winter they help to find wood to heat the house. The smallest children don't go to school yet. Project information: The project in Kosovo of which your sponsor child is a part was founded in 1999 by the De Brug foundation. The Bridge is active in the southwest of Kosovo, in the region around the city of Gjakova. This area was the hardest hit during the war. The project helps children and widows who have lost their father/husband during the war. Single women who can hardly keep their heads above water are also helped. School costs in Kosovo are relatively high, which means that children are often unable to go to school. The project provides textbooks and other school costs, so that the children can go to school and have hope for a better future. The widows receive support and are provided with food parcels, clothing and medication. Your support provides your sponsor child with food, school and teaching materials and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
