Project 'Roma Bread Basket' Macedonia

The cost of living is rising everywhere, that's for sure. This is also the case in Macedonia where our friends Sokrat and Lena Apostolovski have been working for many years among the Roma population in Skopje.

We have visited them there several times in the past and seen what a wonderfully encouraging work they do.

Guiding and helping vulnerable families, organizing children's clubs and summer camps, planting churches, and also hosting the annual international Roma conference.

Poverty is still a problem in this community and Sokrat and Lena offer support where possible.

They have started up another project for the coming period, project 'Roma Bread Basket'. This project must ensure that seventy Roma families have at least one meal a day, as well as practical groceries such as soap, shampoo, and toilet paper.

The shopping packages are put together and delivered by young people from the community, so it also creates a bit of employment and structure within the Roma community.

We would like to help Sokrat and Lena to set up this 'food bank' initiative. It is nice to see how people in every country stand up to help others through small-scale initiatives. We applaud that!
