Funding for the initial stage has been given by the Department of International Development, with charities working in Kosovo also involved. Another move to bring relief to the people of Kosovo is the creation of a mine-free zone. It is the first site of its kind, and will be opened on Monday by Save the Children at the Abdyl Ferashi primary school in Prizren. The zone has been officially cleared and checked by K-For, the international peacekeeping force deployed in Kosovo, and will be supplied with educational and recreational equipment. The recent conflict has severely disrupted their lives.
Children have a right to a secure, danger-free environment.
Save the Children is aiming to provide this with designated safe zones within communities. The charity hopes to create more safe zones for children in the coming months. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
