Who We Are
In today’s complex societal landscape, the issue of social exclusion looms large, with numerous individuals and groups finding themselves marginalized across various spheres of social life. This global trend underscores the pressing need to address the risks faced by vulnerable populations, a reality that is particularly pronounced in regions like Kosovo, where the aftermath of conflict has left a significant imprint on social dynamics. Among those most profoundly affected by exclusion are individuals with intellectual disabilities, underscoring the imperative for concerted action to foster a more inclusive and equitable society.
At NGO Me Dhe Për Shoqërinë, we are driven by a steadfast commitment to championing the cause of an inclusive society founded upon principles of mutual respect, solidarity, and empathy. Central to our mission is the recognition of the manifold challenges confronting young people, particularly those hailing from marginalized backgrounds, in their quest for equal participation and opportunity.
Central to the ethos of NGO Me Dhe Për Shoqërinë is the belief that resilient and prosperous societies are built upon foundations of tolerance and inclusion. Accordingly, our organization is dedicated to dismantling barriers that impede the full participation of marginalized groups in governance processes and institutions that directly impact their lives. Through targeted initiatives, we empower individuals with leadership skills and offer capacity-building support to governmental bodies and civil society organizations alike, fostering a culture of multicultural awareness and collaboration that transcends boundaries of ethnicity, religion, gender, and age.
Moreover, our work extends beyond advocacy and capacity-building to encompass direct support and assistance to marginalized communities. Through strategic partnerships and grassroots initiatives, we strive to enhance access to essential services, promote economic empowerment, and facilitate pathways to social integration for those on the fringes of society. By addressing the root causes of exclusion and inequity, we endeavor to foster a more just and inclusive society where every individual is afforded dignity, respect, and opportunity.
In pursuit of our vision for a more inclusive future, NGO Me Dhe Për Shoqërinë remains steadfast in its commitment to collaborative action, forging alliances with like-minded organizations, government agencies, and community stakeholders to effect meaningful change at the grassroots level and beyond. Together, we aspire to build a society where diversity is celebrated, barriers are dismantled, and every voice is heard and valued.
Within our organization, we recognize that achieving meaningful societal transformation requires a multifaceted approach that addresses not only the symptoms but also the root causes of exclusion and inequality. As such, we are deeply invested in research and advocacy efforts aimed at identifying systemic barriers and advocating for policy reforms that promote social justice and equal opportunity for all. Through evidence-based interventions and dialogue with policymakers, we seek to influence the development and implementation of inclusive policies that prioritize the needs and rights of marginalized communities.
Furthermore, at NGO Me Dhe Për Shoqërinë, we place a strong emphasis on fostering community engagement and empowerment as catalysts for sustainable change. Through community-led initiatives and participatory decision-making processes, we empower individuals and grassroots organizations to become agents of change within their own communities. By cultivating a sense of ownership and collective responsibility, we nurture the emergence of vibrant and resilient communities where every member is empowered to contribute to the common good and realize their full potential.
