General Information

For a Contemporary Roma Vision Center - is an Albanian local Roma organization established by a group of Roma intellectuals in Albania. Since its foundation on 17 November 2005, the Center “For a Contemporary Roma Vision” has played an important role in promoting new Roma intellectuals and in the educational, cultural, economic and social development of the community. The public opinion has been stimulated in a systematic way about respecting human rights particularly those of the language and education of the new Roma generation. Six years since inception means a very difficult journey for us because the problems that are borne by this community are big. For this reason, the staff of the center “For a Contemporary Roma Vision” has tried to solve these problems in an institutional way and to draft projects for this purpose. The organization has received support from potential donors that operate in Albania which have financed various areas such as education, employment, healthcare and culture. UNICEF, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Education, Terre des Hommes. etc
