Help - Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.V.

Knowing the local language used by the majority population is a crucial prerequisite for a successful integration. It helps with communication in everyday life and enables access to quality jobs. It is exactly for this reason that Ukrainian refugees in Montenegro have named Montenegrin language courses as one of the top 3 priority needs. The Roma and Egyptian communities in Montenegro whose mother tongues is Romani or Albanian face similar problems. Roma and Egyptian children often drop-out from the education system or finish their education being functional analphabets and as grown-ups have limited chance for a proper employment. The provision of language courses will help these 2 groups to overcome the language barriers and more easily integrate into the Montenegrin society.
