Young readers impress another ambassador!

I can't decide what I love most about these pictures - the honour of having Carin Lobbezoo, Ambassador of Embassy of the Netherlands in Kosovo to see reading and pre-school activities at The Ideas Partnership's centre in Fushe Kosove, or the evidence that when you're a child reading a great book, you don't get distracted by a visitor, even when she's an Ambassador! So grateful for the kind support of the Ambassador and her team.

Our new project supporting Kosovo's returnee recyclers: transforming their lives, as they transform the local environment.

We have started a new project supporting Kosovo's returnee recyclers: transforming their lives, as they transform the local environment.

This project aims to support those of the Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptian communities who have been forced to return to Kosovo, and their neighbors, who depend on rubbish picking for their livelihoods.

The recyclers will be trained on the safest and most effective ways of recycling waste and one of the aims of this project is to achieve a reduction in the amount of recyclable plastic and metal waste going to landfills in Fushe Kosova municipality.

We’re also going to build awareness of the importance of waste separation with households and local businesses.

This project is funded by the JAC Trust.

About us

We pride ourselves on our engagement with and our deep knowledge of the communities we support. We apply this to make low-cost, high-impact interventions with a three-part philosophy of: helping those in need, but also helping those in need to help themselves and, perhaps most importantly helping those in need to help others in need.

TIP’s excellent reputation is due to its reliability and transparency, enhanced by high profile recognition received through the support of - & visits by - an impressive local & international mix of politicians, ambassadors, military peacekeepers, celebrities & even royalty. The Duchess of Cornwall, NATO’s Lord Robertson & Mother Teresa awards attract attention but the hard work of enthusiastic & talented young local volunteers & employees has been the key to success.
