  Gypsy Community in Rusky Komorovci  
$8,000
  
             
  Gypsies living in this region are discriminated against and have difficulty finding and maintaining jobs. Some Gypsy families came together to buy a plot of land and farming equipment to grow vegetables. They also decided to make two wells for the village so everyone could have access to water for their needs. Having a plot of land on which to grow vegetables will be very helpful in meeting their families’ needs. (2005)
