It offers free therapeutic and social services for children, adolescents and adults. Currently, over 300 people benefit directly from these programs, while the community comprises more than 1,000 members.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, these important therapeutic services are at risk. Without urgent financial support, the programs could be discontinued in June 2025, which would mean the loss of essential care services for many. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-58b4a89416a3c28e41768e62e8adbfcd\" style=\"color:#004d80\"><strong>How your support helps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>With your donation you help to ensure that:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>250 children will continue to have access to speech therapy, developmental support, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100 young people and adults can take advantage of programs to promote independence and vocational training in order to lead an independent life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over 600 people benefit indirectly from these services and receive the support they need to exercise their rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f78616a3c7c012ec4780e9cd826413dd\" style=\"color:#004d80\"><strong>Why your help is important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Without these essential services, the quality of life of people with Down syndrome in Kosovo would deteriorate considerably.
