Kosovo
became a province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia after the
2nd World War. Violence erupted in 1998 following the earlier breakdown
of the Republic. The Kosovo Liberation Army came out in open rebellion
against Serbian rule. Although the conflict lasted only 78 days,
it left thousands of people dead, and displaced over 500,000. |
|
|
We have established the only residential family homes for children in need of protection in Kosovo, one in Pristina and the other in Prizren. The homes provide temporary accommodation for vulnerable children regardless of ethnic background, religion or place of birth. We are often the last or only hope for children who have spent most of their lives living in fear of abuse.
|
The aim of both our homes is to reunite children with their immediate or extended families. If this is not possible we find caring foster or adoptive parents. The
UN has used the management systems in place in our homes as examples
of good practice for other service providers. We are therefore setting
the standards in which future child care services will be measured
and required to operate. |
