Description:
In August 2009 HELP started the realization of the programme “Support to socially vulnerable households in Sandzak ”. Programme is financed by the German Government through the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, the City of Novi Pazar and HELP.
The eligible applicants in this project can be socially vulnerable households, amongst IDPs, refugees as well as the local population with the sound and viable business idea for starting or developing business that will result in regular income generation. In particular, projects meeting set conditions and submitted by women will have special attention.

The programme will encompass the total of 30 entrepreneurs from the territory of the City of Novi Pazar. Supported clients will be provided with the in-kind grants solely in the form of equipment/material with the average value of 140.000,00 RSD (counter value 1.500,00 EUR).

The supported clients will be obliged to:
- register their business activity prior to equipment/material delivery;
- attend business trainings organized by HELP;
- repay 20% of the total value of donated equipment;
- perform 20 hours of community service for the local community.

Current activities:
Purchase and distribution of the equipment/material for the 30 supported entrepreneurs in Novi Pazar within this project has been completed by HELP. On the other hand all supported clients have also fullfilled their obligations in terms of registration of their businesses to the community service for their local communities.
