Amalka – early care in the home environment of Roma excluded families

Main aim and activites:

The development of children in Roma excluded environment is negatively affected by their living conditions. Crucially, the period of the first years of a child’s life, if the child does not have the necessary support in development, is difficult to correct later. The aim of the project is to continue working with mothers/ parents/ grandparents of children and children from the birth in their home environment through the active participation of 10 Amalka – mentors of early intervention – mothers directly from the Roma community. Other activities are to provide counselling on the premises of the community centre, to carry out educational activities for mothers/families with new-borns/with babies/ pre-schoolers, in accompanying adolescent future moms and mothers of new-borns. The aim is to actively continue to involve women from the community as mentors – more experienced mothers from families who have been involved in the activities of the organization for several years, who already have children and experiences of their own. As part of the project, the organization will prepare methodological materials for parents – leaflets on different parental topics. The project also aims to scale its activities to three other locations. The project is a continuation of a successful project implemented through the 1st and 2nd call, with both qualitative and quantitative growth.

Project Omama – early care for children from excluded Roma communities

Main aim and activites:

“If you are born into extreme poverty, very likely you will be wrong to thrive in school and then you have little chance to successfully being applied in working life”, is the main point of the project promoters. In Slovakia, this problem is one of the crucial problems in connection with the excluded Roma communities. Touches tens of thousands of people, primarily children, who do not receive adequate care, education and literacy in pre-school age. Many times it also happens that children from poor environments do not get into kindergarten, thereby again losing many of the skills.
