Mirlinda was born and raised in the Roma district. Mirlinda lives with 5 brothers and 1 sister and does not go to school due to extreme poverty. Mirlinda and two brothers go to the supermarket to beg for food every day. A sponsor could change this so that she can go to school and build on her future. Merlinda loves to dance and would like to become a professional dancer later on.
During the Balkan war in 1999, this area in Kosovo and Albania was most affected. The project helps children and women who have lost their fathers or husbands in this terrible war.

We deliberately do not have a CBF quality mark. However, we do meet a number of important conditions of this quality mark. One of the reasons that we do not have this quality mark is the costs that are charged for this; this would significantly increase our overhead costs. We prefer to spend this money on the projects we support.
