Project Background
In February 1998, President Milosevic sent in troops to reclaim KLA controlled areas of Kosova and in the process sparked rioting which led to an escalation of the conflict and subsequent war.

This war drove out the local population and led to mass destruction by the Serbian authorities of the local infrastructure, including schools, houses and economic activities owned by the Kosovans.

NATO launched an air campaign as a result of which Serbia finally agreed to sign a UN approved peace agreement. As a result of this, many of the refugees that had fled their homes returned back but were faced with numerous problems.

The Islamic Faculty of Kosova started in 1992 located in two building and providing the school and a Madrassa. Following the war there was no income to pay staff or continue the Faculty because the students could not afford the fees.

To make matters worse, the Islamic Library of the Faculty, was burnt by the Serbs. The Faculty provides for approximately 200 students who come there for Quranic and Islamic Studies allowing them to prepare life as Imams and religious teachers.

Project Objectives

• To assist the Islamic Faculty to continue providing a service by financing its teaching and administrative staff for one year

• To provide computers and printers to enable the staff to print teaching material for the faculty

• To help rebuild the library by purchasing books

Beneficiaries
200 male and female students will be the beneficiaries.
The Faculty is dependent of fees, which are normally paid by the students. It is expected that after one year duration, the students will commence payments of the fees and help sustain the activities of the Faculty.
