Bashkimi Qytetar Rruga

Fondacioni Komunitar i Korçës dhe Qendra MEET 

Projekti ‘Krijimi i korridorit pyjor të Parkut të Kodrave të Korçës’, parashikon krijimin e një lidhjeje në trajtë korridori pyjor të dy-tre zonave aktualisht të gjelbëruara të Parkut të Kodrave të Korçës, me anë të mbjelljes së fidanëve të specieve,

Akacie (Robinia pseudoacacia)

Panjë (Acer negundo)

Sumak me brirë (Rhus typhina) dhe 

Pema e parajsës (Ailanthus altissima), 

përreth një zone me sipërfaqe 53,328 m2 (53,3 ha) të vendosur kryesisht në shpatin perëndimor të kodrave (hapësira e gjelbër mbi qytet) dhe përgjatë një korridori me gjatësi totale prej 670m dhe gjerësi që varion nga 18 m deri në 210 m.

Pse propozojmë pikërisht këtë zonë?  

Sepse është gjurma kryesore e zonës të kalueshme dhe më shumë të frekuentueshme që lidh qytetin me parkun natyror të kodrave dhe mandej të Moravës. Ështëtradicionalisht i frekuentuar dhe pjesë e fortë përbërëse e historisë të vjetër dhe të re të qytetit. Është subjekt tregimesh, kujtimesh dhe serenatash. 

Ky aks, gjithashtu konsiderohet të jetë tejet i rëndësishëm përsa i përket jo vetëm lidhjes të disa prej zonave më me interes zhvillimi të qytetit, por edhe për shkak të potencialit të përllogaritur turistik dhe zhvillimor që mbart. 

Kodrat e qytetit, mali i Moravës pas tyre dhe gjithë tërësia e atraksioneve të asaj zone, listohen si disa prej zonave më të para të zhvilluara kryesisht në shërbime dhe gjithashtu edhe si strehë sitesh të vizitueshme kulturore dhe natyrore. 

Me anë të këtij korridori dhe të kësaj rruge aksesohen edhe parqet natyrore të Moravës, të Bredhit të Drenovës, kreshta e Cardhakut, Monumenti Natyror i Gurit të Capit, etj. Të gjitha këto kanë qenë dhe janë zona shumë të frekuentuara. 

Njëkohësisht, sitet e sipërpërmendura konsiderohen si zona të stimuluara zhvillimi dhe qëndrojnë në projektet e bashkisë të Korcës si zona të zhvillimit turistik.  

Estetizimi dhe zbukurimi urban i kësaj zone, restaurimi i ekosistemeve të dëmtuara hershëm me po të njëjtatspecie pemësh rreth të cilave është krijuar profili i kësaj zone, pritet të krijojë në vetvete një segment jo vetëm të bukur dhe shumëngjyrësh në të gjitha stinët, por edhe me vlerë në ndihmë të mjedisit dhe ekosistemeve të vlefshme të asaj zone e cila shërben si mbrojtëse e qytetit prej erërave të Moravës.Këto të fundit janë shndërruar në problem frekuent gjatë dimrit që pas dëmtimeve masive të brezave pyjorë gjatëviteve ’90.

Creating Change to Empower Albanian Youth

Every kid wants to be an all-star some day, and here is your chance to make that possibility come true for Albanian youth under the first program for Albanian youth of the newly formed Korçarët Ndihmojnë Korçarët Korce Community Foundation  — the first and only Albanian Community Foundation.

We are working together with Partners Albania for Change and Development, Smile.al and the Credins Bank Foundation, and Alphaplan and Code for Albania.

Together, we would like to raise $30,000 to:  

• What we are doing with partners #1
• What we are doing with partners #2
• Support 15 promising youth from less well-off families to participate in the Code for Albania Camp in Korce in 2026

So far we have raised about $15,000 as follows:

• $8,000 Partners Albania Giving Circle Gala in October 2024
• $5,000 Yvonne Naum
• $2,000 Global Albanians Foundation and Mark Kosmo

We see this as an opportunity to now embark on a new and more ambitious chapter to not only empower more Albanian youth with tech skills, but also to help identify and support future Albanian tech entrepreneurs and widen their engagement with the Albanian diaspora — and particularly Albanian Diaspora Tech Entrepreneurs.

We’re excited to see this program continue to grow and empower even more groups of young people who go on to create startups, succeed in universities, and make a real difference for Albania by 2030.

We would greatly appreciate your support.  Together, we can make a lasting impact on Albania’s youth and their future!

Thank you for supporting our mission, your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

Historically, the oda was the center of authority — a space where men gathered to speak, decide, and lead, while women were both physically and symbolically excluded. We are reclaiming that space to include women and girls! F’Oda is where girls come together to share, resist, organize, and grow — not individually, but collectively.

We are a grassroots feminist collective founded and led by a team of Albanian girls from the diaspora. We organize across Kosovo, the Balkans, and Albanian diaspora communities through:

• Collective activism against gender-based and sexual violence
  
• Mental health advocacy and trauma-informed healing
  
• Dismantling patriarchal norms that shape every level of our society
  
• Artistic expression as a form of resistance and truth-telling
  
• Intergenerational mentorship and leadership development
  
• Creating spaces that are not only safe, but nourishing 

Our work goes beyond programming; we also build partnerships with NGOs, community organizers, independent activists, and political institutions to bring collective pressure, visibility, and systemic accountability to the issues affecting Albanian women and girls.

We are proud to partner with Action for Mothers and Children (AMC Kosova) — a leading institution in maternal and child health — to expand our reach and deepen our impact.

This $20,000 fundraiser sustains the core of our organizing — our operations, strategy, and ability to lead long-term transformation.

Thank you for believing in this work. F’Oda is a collective — and that means it belongs to all of us. We invite you to build it with us!

OriginAL  aims to provide a volunteer, educational, and cultural experience for Albanian Diaspora Youth (ages of 18-24) in their homeland countries. The goal is to strengthen their sense of ethnic identity and create long-lasting connections, especially between them and their youth peers in our homeland countries. OriginAL is patterned on the idea of Birthright Israel, and similar programs in other countries,  We launched OriginAL with 40 participants in 2022, and want to double this number every year for the next five years and then reach thousands in the future.

Did you know that Kosova loses more than 1 hectare of forest per day?

As part of its deforestation work, SLK has created a movement called #MoseMerrMalin with the aim to increase the awareness of the problem of deforestation and its long term impact on ecosystems, biodiversity and people’s livelihoods. Through their research, data science, and satellite imagery, SLK has visualized the deforestation problem in the region of Kosovo. In this interactive map you will be able to see a timelapse of forest loss of 7,618 Hectares over the last two decades – or the equivalent of 14,236 football stadiums. If we continue with the current trend by 2035 Kosovo will not have any healthy forests left.

It is time to act as if we can’t breathe tomorrow!

SLK needs your help to continue with its #MoseMerrMalin movement, and to develop a specific workstation which will process the data collected through satellite images.

The workstation includes two equipments:

• 34 Curved Monitor – S3422DWG: 34” curved WQHD monitor with VESA Display HDR 400, a 144Hz refresh rate. Such a screen with the required size and specifications helps us to have a wider view during the analysis of damaged forest areas. This type of screen has the ability to be divided into two parts and gives us the opportunity in real time to compare data for certain years, for example 2020 with those of the current year. Price: 450 Euros
• XPS Desktop: 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900 (30 MB cache, 16 cores, 20 threads, 2.40 GHz to 5.10 GHz Turbo. These specifications of processing of the data coming from satellites such as Landsat 8.9 and Sentinel 1.2, combined with the data coming from the Drone. All combined requires powerful processing and takes time to get results so we need to have a workstation with the ability to process this information. Price: 3,200 Euros

Through your donations you will help protect Kosova’s lungs and its children’s future.
