Musically talented Roma children and youth have lack of access to musical instruments and music education due to living in poverty and social exclusion. The Roma Rock School (RRS) is working with Roma pupils from the biggest Roma settlement in Europe, Shuto Orizari - N. Macedonia using an unique curriculum combining Rock with Roma traditional music. Make your donation to support this socially innovative program of securing free music education and future music career of Roma children and youth.

The Roma children have the lowest rate of school attendance and highest level of dropout in North Macedonia, considering deep poverty of their families. The access to private musical schools and education is even more difficult considering the high cost for artistic education and purchasing musical instruments. Unfortunately, the 3 years' project of RRS supporting Roma children has ended. Your donation will secure at least 30 talented but poor Roma children to continue their music education.

Two weeks after the fire on Alexander Medvedev Street in Nis, the issue of 50 homeless people cannot be permanently resolved. After the big fire from their homes, they were left with only arrears. The proposal to use city apartments and pay rent has upset citizens who already have unpaid bills, most live on social assistance or have a minimum income and can not set aside an additional 70 euros per month for rent. Fearing for their livelihood, some are afraid of being left on the street. Some of them are housed in the family, while others are in a safe house in the center of "Mara".

A large fire broke out on Alexandra Medvedeva Street in Nis in the evening, around 7.40 pm, in which ten families were left without their homes. The Nis Police Department said no one was injured in the blaze.

According to eyewitnesses, the fire started suddenly, and it is presumed that the chimney of one of the barracks caught fire. The tenants, fleeing the fire, ran into the street without having time to take their personal documents or money with them.
