Supporting refugees in Kosovo

H.H came in Kosovo in 2019 with his pregnant wife L.S  and his one-year-old son. Since they arrived and asked for asylum JRS Kosovo supported L.S during the months of her pregnancy by accompanying her to regular medical visits and providing medicines required. At the end of 2019 this family enlarged with a baby girl born in Prishtina Public Hospital, Kosovo. At that time JRS also provided the basic things needed for a baby like clothes, diapers, baby food and stroller. During 2020 this family received the International Protection and they have been accommodated in a private apartment in a Municipality close to Prishtina. In collaboration with the Ministry of Interior Affairs, Department of Integration, which covers the rent of the apartment for this family, JRS is continuously supporting with food and non food items and medical support. Recently H.H has found a part time job which allows him to cover some basic expenses for his family but still not enough to respond all the needs of his wife and children. In February, because of the very cold weather JRS donated to this family a wood stove so they will be warm, having decent conditions in their apartment and not have to pay expensive bills for electricity.
