Posted On May 29, 2017 By admin_projects In News / 1

Over the past five years, many efforts have been made to support fruit production in the Birač region. As a result, this sector of the economy has experienced steady growth. That’s a good thing, as this is one of the only sources of income for many young people.

Three start-up companies launched in Jajce, supported by the Economic Empowerment of Youth project

Every day, we hear about young people who are leaving BiH in search of a better life. They’re fed up with the lack of jobs and opportunities. However, for three start-up companies from Jajce, supported through the Economic Empowerment of Youth project, this difficult economic situation was not an insurmountable obstacle, but rather a challenge they could overcome. Tired of waiting for things to change, they say it’s time for young people to take responsibility and do something!

Aida Klapuh, Josipa Miketa, and Adis Čagalj, like many young people in our country, have had periods of unemployment, have worked jobs unrelated to their education, and have experienced many disappointments. But these young people recognized opportunities others didn’t see and took the initiative to start their own businesses. Through the project, they were offered further education, as well as mentoring and financial support for the realisation of their business ventures.
