Supporting the position of vulnerable groups in Novohrad

The aim of the project is to improve the position of vulnerable groups - especially the Roma, by providing activities to acquire skills and increase the level of financial literacy of the target groups in order to make more effective use of personal finances and increase their chances of finding a job. The target group consists of individuals and families (children and adults) from marginalized Roma communities and other low-income groups - people with disabilities, families with many children, homeless people, who are looking especially for material help in our organization. Many families and individuals are unable to manage their finances economically, and this is passed on to future generations. By providing only the material assistance, these groups have no motivation to change their habits and become dependent on the help of others. The main part of the project is therefore the implementation of educational activities - food preparation courses, financial literacy courses and activities to develop work skills and work habits. The project is being implemented in the Novohrad region - south of central Slovakia, which is a region with high unemployment and a large proportion of the population with low education and marginalized Roma communities. The project envisages a direct impact on 100 participants of the vulnerable group.
