The justification of the participation on D&H-5Projects by CASAIOANA

We can say that homeless – mentally ill, marginalised etc people are a problem for social and health service - the target group do not have an access to good service or service at all. Poor and sick people in cities or far in rural areas do not have real possibilities to improve the quality of their own lives.

List of target groups and participants in the event, of direct and indirect beneficiaries

target groups : ex-prisoners; homeless….; mentally sick; street children: poor people
participants … NGOs ; health & social field authorities ; administrators body

Reasons for the selection of the target groups and participants in the event and activities

Riga, it’s as in other countries of Eastern Europe nothing very special for Latvia

Relevance of the project to the target groups or participants in the event

Yes, we need experience for our organization and sometimes it is not so expensive to change the methods, attitudes etc. And the best is to see the same field workers from other countries, even to see from the same countries, and discuss about problems.

Relevance of the project to the objectives of the programme

the EU membership is problem and challenge for our countries. We, who are active in social field see it like possibility to influence our authorities to change situations for marginalised by EU. We know that not all is perfect in ''old'' Europe, but anyway we should try.

Relevance of the project to the priorities of the programme

Structural changes of economy was the reason for lot of people become poor, unemployed, marginalised by different criteria - age, health, gender, nation - that was not so common for socialism and that time ideology - all lived poor, under control, but more or less satisfied, without freedom and rights. Market is working well, but system of protection is not yet. How to develop the social security system - we should try all the possibilities
