Project 2
- Improvement of quality of life to Roma community Roma citizens, especially youth and women are not educated enough about opportunities for employment and self employment and do not know how to use them. Moreover, the state has not built a guarantee mechanism for this group of citizens. We believe that by creating a direct support mechanism is much needed, very important and therefore we would like to create an example of social-economic support that can be implemented at other levels further. Identifying domestic or even foreign strategic customer/partner for products from start ups may be a great opportunity to secure the self-sustainability of business operations. Through professional mentoring and trainings project will support the developmental phase of their start ups. They will be assisted with tools and machines and enabled to sell their products throughout the Social Company. Aim To improve the economic situation of the citizens from three rural regions by promoting ecological production of bees combined with tools and opportunities for self-employment Goals - To ensure financial sustainability of citizens from Roma ethnic background - To empowered at least 15 Roma citizens for developing start up businesses
