Help board visit during October 2023

Help’s journey through the Balkans continues, and today we bring you insights from our visit to Kosovo. Our dedicated team, led by Secretary General Dr. Thorsten Klose-Zuber, and board members Ute Vogt and Angelika Josten Janssen, met with the Help in Kosovo team to dive into their inspiring portfolio.

In Kosovo, Help upholds the same approach and methodology that have proven successful in other Balkan countries. Our commitment to empowering individuals and communities remains unwavering.

One highlight of our visit was our interaction with a local start-up business supported by the RECONOMY program. This program focuses on training and education in digital transformation and green economic development, in partnership with HELVETAS and Swedish Sida. Our local partner is in finance and accounting for businesses not only in Kosovo but also in the wider region. What’s remarkable is that it also extends its reach to educate and mentor individuals, with a significant 80 per cent of its clients being women. This initiative is a powerful force in promoting female empowerment in Kosovo and the surrounding region.

By equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed for the digital age and sustainable economic practices, we are not only addressing “the brain drain” but also driving socio-economic sustainable development and female empowerment in Kosovo and beyond.

At Help, we believe in the transformative power of education and support. Stay tuned as we continue our journey, making a positive impact in Kosovo and across the Balkans.

Empowering Youth and Adults through CNC Mechanics and 3D Design for Industry with BONEVET

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.
