Slovaks abroad helping omamas
Help us build a community committed to solving poverty in Slovakia through early childhood development.
Join us and connect with people who care about Slovakia and who are dedicated to making it a better place for everyone.
If you are reading this text, you probably live, study, or work abroad. Maybe you have started a family there. You were given the opportunity to show your talents and succeed. You were given support by your parents, school, or people who believed in you. However, not everyone is given such opportunities. Children from the poorest Roma communities rarely make it beyond the borders of their district and they often drop out of school before completing elementary school. Generational poverty is passed down from generation to generation, reducing children’s opportunities for success.
That’s why our omamas actively work within these communities, helping children and their parents in narrowing the gap with middle-class peers through supporting their development from day one.
Living abroad does not mean you cannot feel a sense of responsibility to contribute to your country, region, or community. Whether you are planning to return someday or want to stay abroad permanently, you can now join our mission and start helping remotely. At Cesta von, we have a few ideas on how to make it happen, and we’d love to hear yours as well.
