Nearly 6,000 people have benefited from the Roma Integration Program’s sub-grants program. The following chart illustrates the breakdown of projects by sector and the numbers of people affected in the target communities:

• Education programs, including tutoring services and teacher’s assistant trainings, prepare Roma students for integration into majority schools.
• Health, housing, and social welfare programs improve access to essential social services, services which Romani communities are often denied.
• Job training and employment counseling programs reduce unemployment levels by providing Roma with marketable job skills.
• Infrastructure projects help build playgrounds and improve parks in Roma neighborhoods, updating facilities that have fallen behind those in majority communities.
• Free-time activities for children provide safe, educational environments where Roma youth can interact with each other and with non-Roma children and improve their self-confidence.
