November is our month against violence. Find out how the Carpathian Foundation supports the protection of vulnerable groups and creates a safe environment.
253 participants, including hikers, ultra-runners, groups of friends or blind hikers with guides, stood at the start of the Carpathian Wander (Karpatská vandrovka). They all contributed to a good cause. The We Love the East fund raised 10,000 euros, which will be used for public benefit activities in the region. The Wander celebrated 15 years, and the atmosphere at the start and finish was exceptional.
During the implementation of the UPre Women programme and event with employers, we identified barriers that hinder Roma women from disadvantaged backgrounds from finding, obtaining, and, most importantly, maintaining employment. These barriers and tested solutions have been documented to assist employers and relevant government institutions.
What happens when elementary school kids draw their crazy inventions, university students design them, and high schoolers make them? And how did the kids react when they saw and tried their inventions after waiting a year?
At the Carpathian Foundation, we have zero tolerance for any sexual exploitation, abuse or violation of children's rights. It is important to us that we work with our partners, supported organisations and their partners to create and maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone who participates in the activities we implement and support.
A beautiful project is being created in Slovakia, that will help Roma women to find their inner strength, to be able to take care of themselves, to develop their community and to find a good job. It's called UPre Women and the idea came from Veronika Miškech Fričová from Košice, who worked with the Indian organisation AZAD Foundation on the successful and groundbreaking Women with Wheels programme. When she saw how positively the lives, but also the unfavourable position of women in Indian society were changing, she wanted to try something like this here.
