Our engaged associates on the project organized continuous workshops where protective masks were sewn for all migrants staying in PC Sid, in cooperation with the Commissariat for Refugees and Migration of the Republic of Serbia, which provided the fabric.
Women from Afghanistan showed the greatest interest in this workshop, but both Iranian and Iranian women gladly joined this activity. During the workshops, women have the opportunity to set aside time for themselves, to socialize, but also to teach and transfer knowledge to other women.
Zeneib from Afghanistan shared her impression of these workshops: "I am glad that after a long time, activities for women were organized here again. We spent time mostly with the children in the yard of the reception center. Here we have the opportunity to exchange experiences in a pleasant atmosphere, set aside some time for ourselves and do something that we will all benefit from ... Masks mean a lot to us when we go out of the reception center, for shopping or walking. Now we can finally make custom-made masks for children. "
The project "Empowerment of Refugee Women and Children" is being implemented in cooperation with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), from July 1, 2020 in PC Sid.
