  • Widows of war in Kosovo. After the war, some of villages like Meje have no men left. Many widows have no means of sustainment. Ngos assisted the widows in rebuilding their homes. However, the Ngos support has diminished to null after they have been moved to Iraq and Afghanistan. This decision has left the widows in unfinished homes and no one to turn to for any support.

  • In Kosovo, some of the villages like Meje has no men left. The widows with their children have a difficult life. Their homes are mostly unfinished after Ngos were sent away from the country and their meagre support of 60Euros is meant to support the whole family for a month. A widow of Meje with 5 children.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

  • Widows of war receive 60 Euros for maintenance. With this meagre income they can hardly make ends meet. Often if they have a son, he is going to work at an early age to help out the family.

  • Linda is a child from Kosovo.  Her parents sought refuge in London Uk 5 years ago. Their status is still pending, which means that at any time they can be asked by the Home Office to leave the country. Meanwhile, many children, some even born in the new country adapt and don't know any other place which to call home.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.
