Social Inclusion
Social inclusion is a process that allows those who are at risk of poverty and social exclusion, to gain the opportunities and resources needed for full participation in economic, social and cultural life and to achieve prosperity and living standards that are considered acceptable in a society where they are living. Social inclusion ensures greater participation of citizens in making decisions that affect their lives and the realization of basic rights.

The aim of this project is to improve the economic status and living conditions for the target population, through active recruitment and improvement of infrastructure in Roma settlements.
