Covid-19: Emergency Fund Response
COVID-19 EMERGENCY FUND RESPONSE
DISTRIBUTION OF THE SCHOOL MATERIAL, FOOD AND HYGIENE PACKAGES
In response to the current challenges Roma families and communities face due to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Roma Education Fund has created an Emergency Fund and Action plan to provide support to the continuation of education and learning. This project is implemented by Roma Versitas Albania in collaboration with 6 partner organisations: Disutni Albania, Plan and Go, Voice of Roma, Ushten, Rromano Kham and Institute of Romani Culture in Albania. In addition to educational support, pupils and students are also supported with didactic and nutritional packages. All children who have been supported have been selected by the facilitators of the
partner organisations. A total of 135 packages of didactic materials and 100 food packages were distributed in the respective cities where the partner organisations operate, respectively in the cities: Shkodra, Tirana, Durres, Fier and Korca. 135 students, 51 males and 66 females, were supported with food and school supplies.
The materials were distributed for a period of 3 days, respectively on September 3rd – 4th – 5th. All selected beneficiaries have been notified by the facilitators for the distribution dates according to the agenda for each organisation. The children were accompanied by their parents.
*This emergency response was funded by Roma Education Fund and implemented by Roma Versitas Albania in partnership with Plan & Go, IRCA, Ushten, Disutni Albania, Rromano Kham and Voice of Roma in Albania
