Amalka - early care in the home environment of Roma excluded families

The development of children in Roma excluded environment is negatively affected by their living conditions, most importantly, during first years of a child's life. If the child does not have the necessary support in the development, is difficult to correct it later. The aim of the project is to continue working with mothers/ parents/ grandparents of children and children from the birth in their home environment through the active participation of 10 Amalkas - mentors of early intervention - mothers directly from the Roma community. Other activities are to provide counselling on the premises of the community center, to carry out educational activities for mothers/families with newborns/with babies/ preschoolers, in accompanying adolescent future moms and mothers of newborns. The aim is to actively continue to involve women from the community as mentors - more experienced mothers from families who have been involved in the activities of the organization for several years, who already have children and experiences of their own. As part of the project, the organization will prepare methodological materials for parents - leaflets on different parental topics. The project also aims to scale its activities to three other locations. The project is a continuation of a successful project implemented through the 1st and 2nd call, with both qualitative and quantitative growth.
