Happy to share with you an overview of our meticulously designed and refined Help’s strategy process, our vision and mission as an organization & our strategic goals. Enjoy!
The German government will support the economic development of five of the Western Balkan countries, namely, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia to improve living conditions of marginalized, vulnerable groups in the Western Balkans through programs through capacity building, learning and innovation with and amongst intermediary institutions and cross-border cooperation.
Help will implement the regional project “Inclusion and Economic Empowerment in the Western Balkans” throughout the year 2023 until the end of 2024.
The overall goal of the program is to contribute to the reduction of social and economic exclusion of vulnerable groups in the Western Balkans region through economic empowerment and supporting the social-economic inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Objective 1: Regional cooperation and development
Objective 2: Conditions for new jobs created through the Green Growth Grants scheme and appropriate capacity-building training
Objective 3: Contribute to better resocialization of convicts in prison systems through working engagement and capacity building of convicts and employees of the Correctional Institutions
Objective 4: local community initiatives to support improved access and inclusion of vulnerable categories

Today, on the 25th of September 2023, Help Mission in Kosovo signed a partnership agreement with BONEVET Gjakova for the implementation of the “Empowering Youth and Adults through CNC Mechanics and 3D Design for Industry” Project.
The project aims to address the increased need for skills development and employment opportunities in the Gjakova region. Promoting economic growth and community development can be achieved by providing participants with desirable skills and facilitating their integration into local industries. This approach can effectively diminish unemployment rates while also addressing the heightened demand for skilled workers within these sectors.
Support will be offered to the youth of the Gjakova region without distinction, through the building of personal and professional skills as well as their economic empowerment. Within the project, 35-40 young people will be supported in their goals to acquire CNC mechanics and 3D industrial design skills.
