LOCAL INITIATIVES: VOTING FOR THE BEST PRESENTATION
Within the conference, three selected local organizations will present their project ideas that need additional funding, and the audience will have an opportunity to vote for the best presentation via www.sli.do/crowdfunding. The project with the highest number of votes will receive the audience award and additional support in promotion and fundraising.
Initiative launched by: Association of persons with disabilities „Srna“ from Raška
Project value: 625,000 rsd
Region: West and Central Serbia
Brief description: Since the establishment of the Primary Care Center in Raška, the gynecology bed has not been changed - for 60 years. Being outdated and old, it is not suitable for persons with disabilities, nor for pregnant or elderly women. For this reason, the association „Srna“, with the support of the Municipality of Raška, has presented the procurement of a new hydraulic gynecology bed as their project idea. Healthcare needs to be provided to all citizens, and the outdated equipment leads to only few women actually being able to receive healthcare service. The idea of this project is to ensure that all women can attend regular examinations. The procurement of a hydraulic bed would introduce benefits for the entire community.
Beneficiaries: All patients in Primary care center Raška
Initiative launched by: PUC „Utilities“ Sremska Mitrovica
Project value: 1,180,000 rsd
Region: Belgrade and Vojvodina
Brief description: Sremska Mitrovica is facing a major problem caused by small illegal landfills in the city. People often leave their large pieces of waste next to the existing containers for communal waste. The local utility company currently does not have the equipment to take away this type of waste. For this reason, PUC „Utilities“ would like to introduce a recycling yard for the city. This area would require 8 containers with 7m3 volume, for 8 types of waste that do not classify as communal waste. The project would reduce 80% of small illegal landfills currently distributed across town, as well as the utility bills for citizens.
Beneficiaries: 19,500 households from Sremska Mitrovica
Initiative launched by: Civic association of Roma, Egyptian and Ashkali People, Bor
Project value: 1,600,000 rsd
Region: South and East Serbia
Brief description: City administration of Bor provided a space to be used by civic association REAB and other Roma organizations, to assist their fellow people in resolving their daily problems. The space has not been adapted for use and needs to be adapted. The idea is to use the collected funds to eliminate moisture, paint the premises, change the floor and ensure the basic office equipment. The space would serve as a place for Roma people to ask for help and advice to exercise their rights and attend education programs for the employment of Roma people and youth support.
Beneficiaries: More than 600 Roma families in Bor
