Road safety is the main issue that the micro-project in Slatina is targeting.
Slatina is a town cut in two by a main road. There have been many casualties, especially children, forced to cross it, especially during rainly seasons as the side paths where people use to walk to reach the other half of the town, go under water.
A small walking bridge will be constructed next to the road bridge to avoid people from crossing in that area. Permissions were recently obtained and construction will start soon.
In Beli Manastir where the Roma community suffers of lack of potable water, a water pump was constructed and tests are now run to check water quality. However, as the small Roma settlement next to a swamp, the water quality is generally not good in this area. What makes the settlement even more isolated is the mine field on the other side.
A children playground in the village is the second target of the micro-project in B. Manastir, a direct result of the majority of votes during LGW and the exceptionally active participation of youth and children in it.
10 PCs were obtained as a donation for youth activities in Slatina (donated by
Slatina Bank) and 4 in Beli Manastir (donated by
Raiffeisen Bank of Austria).
Road safety workshops were organized in the schools in both communities as well as a mine awarenness workshop in Beli Manastir.
