Campaign Story

The kindergarden ANDRRA is a Preschool and Day Care Institution. It is located in the Old Baazar in Gjakova, it is a private institution and only works from the parents’ payments.

The kindergarden was opened on June 6, 2016. It is an institution licensed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and possesses all the conditions for a genuine education and care of children aged 6 months to 6 years.

The founders of ‘Andrra’ are Emirejeta Kumnova-Hoxha, Clinical Psychologist and Shpresa Komani-Frrokaj School Psychologist, who with their contribution as women have managed to employ 8 other women, 6 educators, 1 female cook and an administration manager, thus improving directly the life of eight families in Gjakova.

ANDRRA maintains the name of a longtime DREAM to realize an idea that has emerged from the sole purpose of physical, emotional, and psychic well-being of children, so as to influence the development of healthy generations for a better future for our city.

‘Andrra’ kindergarden with a qualified staff, above all, promotes policies for the protection of children’s rights, equality and non-discrimination where maintaining the psychological and physical well-being is one of the fundamental objectives of our program.

The kindergarden offers:

∙      Day care during 5 business days including weekend days;

∙      Additional activities for children with special needs in kindergarten services;

∙    Individual and group psychological support and counseling for parents and children, from clinical and school psychologists;

∙      Psycho-educational activities with kindergarten children and school children;

∙      Professional music activities once a week;

∙      Activities in the fields of art.

We work with only one motive WE LOVE SEEING CHILDREN SMILE

We live in Kosovo and we still have various difficulties, although we are a private institution, we offer 50% discount and 30% for these categories:

∙      Children with special needs;

∙      Children with brothers or sisters with special needs;

∙      Children with divorced parents;

∙      Children with only one parent, having lost one parent;

∙      Children with social assistance;

∙      Children whose parents are unemployed.

Being self-financed and without any support for the Kindergarden, we are dealing with an obstacle. Knowing the problems that Kosovo sometimes has with electricity, the heating in the Kindergarden is conditioned by electricity. So we are looking for another alternative and it may be heating with pellets, which would improve the quality of our services. Pellet heating is the best option because even if there are electricity problems, there can be used a converter and we would overcome this problem.

In order for our activities to continue and so that the children keep doing their activities even when the power goes off, we need funds to make it happen.

Budget

In total, we need about 4800 Euros to make the purchase of the material, installation, pellet mechanism and pellet purchase for about 5 months, and the remaining part of the money is needed for servicing and other means, 10% for creditcard-, banktransfer- and KosovaIdeas Platform Fees (3-6% creditcard-, bank transfers and 4-7% platform Fees):

                                                                                                                   Total: 4’800,00 EUR
