"Charity Shop for youth employment and environment protection"

Project no. 2020/419-468

 

 

This project aims to establish the Charity Shops concept in Kosovo as a tool for youth employment and environment protection. Therefore, contributing towards building capacities of youth and people with special needs by employing them through social enterprises. The purpose of this project is to contribute to the creation of recycling culture and the SDG13 goals.

​

Through this project we aim to register one social enterprise as its own entity and open 2 new charity shops 1 in the municipality of Prishtina/Pristina and 1 in the municipality of Gjakova/Đakovica. 8 young people and people with disabilities will be employed through this project. We will also place 4 clothes donation containers 2 in the Municipality of Prishtina/Pristina and 2 in the Municipality of Gjakova/Đakovica, to serve as points for the community to recycle their clothes instead of throwing them away. We are working with the respected departments in each municipality for this.

​

In the second year we will train 40 young volunteers through an 8-week training program on volunteerism, advocacy, recycling and environment protection. These young people will become “Green Heroes” and help advocate and share through campaigns and media about the green agenda and environment action/awareness.
