Cooperation between Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization and Municipality of Raška on the realization of the project "Social Inclusion of Roma and Other Vulnerable Groups 2019-2022" continues. In that sense, EHO and municipality of Raška signed a Cooperation Agreement on September 29, 2020, which provides detailed and more  precise  obligations and responsibilities of both partners in this project.
In order to provide adequate housing support to the most vulnerable families, EHO partnering with municipality of Raška is working intensively on the preparation of project-technical documentation for the reconstruction of existing and construction of social housing. This documentation shall be the basis for planning and seeking the missing financial resources for the construction of social housing from other available sources of funding.
E - additional support to education is an activity that began in August 2020 with a development of an application that has been applied by primary schools in Raška since October 1. This type of support is intended for 45 students from socially vulnerable families and their tutors. By upgrading the electronic service through introduction of the role of "tutor", these children should find have easier learning and tutors shall be supported "from a distance" provided that teaching conditions are reorganized at home. Also, for children who need additional support from other experts (speech therapist, special educator, etc.), support is organized through development counseling, which is a part of project activities in this partner municipality.
In order to promote the protection of basic human rights with a special focus on the protection and provision of support to families with children from socially vulnerable groups, a General Model Rulebook on additional financial support to families with children was developed during August and September 2020. This Rulebook should serve local governments to make a better planing of the type and form of support to socially disadvantaged families with children living on the edge of poverty. The General Model of this Rulebook was adjusted for the needs of the Municipality of Raška and was presented to the representatives of the institutions at the meeting held on September 29, 2020 in the Municipality of Raska. During October 2020, the Rulebook will be adopted in this municipality, and after the adoption of the General Model of this Rulebook, it will be presented to other project partner municipalities.
All activities carried out by EHO in the municipality of Raška and in ten project partner municipalities in Serbia, are based on the needs of the community, individuals and institutions, with the aim of better integration into the social system.
The realization of the project is supported by the HEKS / EPER, Switzerland.
