Giving Olti an education

By Scott Crowe | Volunteer

Olti is just like any other child: inquisitive and energetic. Olti should be given the same chance in life as any other kid in Kosovo. Olti deserves the same chance as anyone else. However, the fact that Olti is from the most deprived of communities in Fushe Kosovo makes this equilibrium a pipe dream.

There is hope though. Olti has infinitely more opportunity than his grandmother’s generation, partly due to her willingness and determination to make sure this is the case, whatever the cost to her personally, but also because of the fantastic work of The Ideas Partnership. In the absence of definitive government help, the organisation provides an invaluable stop-gap to help children like Olti and his heroic grandma. A small sum of money helps ensure Olti and other kids in his situation aren’t forced to spend every hour of the day working for tiny sums to help feed their families.

They are able to attend school, and start to address the economic injustice that has faced them and their community for generations. The Ideas Partnership helps support Olti in his studies, allowing him to get to and from school safely, providing his Grandmother with funding for his lunch and making sure he has ample books for school. Olti now attends school every day, and hopes to be a Policeman or a doctor in the future. This extra financial help provides children like Olti with invaluable physical and psychological rest bite, reassuring them that the path of education is the right one for them and their family.

Your donations can help Olti’s career ambitions a reality.
