Development and humanitarian work

Practical work alongside cultural life

This is one important programme area of the association — not the whole organisation. It combines community development, social solidarity and time-limited humanitarian campaigns.

Where we are heading

Our next chapter focuses on small income-generating projects for women heading households on their own, and steady support for orphaned children and their families.

B — Social solidarity

Practical assistance, kept close to the community

Solidarity is a long-standing community practice: neighbours, families and volunteers responding to the needs of vulnerable households with dignity and discretion. The association works to organise that response rather than replace it.

C — Humanitarian campaigns

Family-relief campaign

The current campaign runs across four support streams, each built to reach families through the hardest months of the year.

Food and bread

Target: 200 families

Milk and diapers

Target: 200 families

School bags and stationery

Target: 200 families

Winter clothing

Target: 200 families

Each stream is built to reach 200 families, and every contribution goes directly into the parcels that families receive.
