During the next three months, seven CSOs that are sub-grantees of the Civil Society Resource Centre will provide a solidarity response to the COVID-19 crisis. They will help more than 1,000 socially disadvantaged families, members of marginalised groups, farmers and victims of domestic violence.
Most of the grantees will provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable categories of citizens in order for them to more easily overcome the crisis, whereas, other activities are related to providing psychosocial support to victims of domestic violence and sharing useful information in communities.
Urgent actions will be carried out mainly locally, in Kumanovo, Prilep, Gostivar, Berovo, Pehchevo, Delchevo, Tetovo and Skopje, while some of them will provide support at the national level.
