About Social Services in Kosovo
Through this online platform, we aim to contribute on the centralisation of information on social and family services for children, adults and families in need provided by local services providers from local public and private institutions.
Our objective is to increase the accessbility of social services from different institutions. These services will assist individuals who, compared to the majority, are living in vulnerable conditions or are in some way disadvantaged. The mission of our social services is to support and safeguard children and adults who are exposed to endangered or distressed circumstances.
Social services are provided to:
Victims of abuse and violence
