Every day, all over the world, USAID brings peace to those who endure violence, health to those who struggle with sickness, and prosperity to those who live in poverty. It is these individuals — these uncounted thousands of lives — that are the true measure of USAID’s successes and the true face of USAID's programs.
July 2018 — Senad Santic was only 4 years old when he and his family fled to Sweden from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in 1993, in the midst of war. Like many other Bosnian diaspora, his family maintained close links to his native city of Mostar, spending most summers there after 1996.
Years later, Santic realized he wanted to connect his friends and business networks in Gothenburg, Sweden, with those in Mostar — and that’s exactly what he did.
Univerzitet u Prištini, najveći javni univerzitet na Kosovu, je pri kraju prošle godine pokrenuo centar za inovacije i preduzetništvo koji je prevazišao čak i najviša očekivanja svojih osnivača. Iako su početne sesije obuke bile planirane za 100 studenata, potražnja je naglo prerasla u više od 1.000 aplikanata. Javna predstavljanja, kao što je bio slučaj tokom događaja Žene u preduzetništvu, su se odvijala u rasprodatim dvoranama, sve to u okviru univerziteta koji služi 50.000 studenata.
Kosovski Registar bankovnih računa kontinuirano održava ažurirane informacije o skoro 2.5 miliona bankovnih računa u komercijalnom bankarskom sistemu Kosova. Pojednostavljena funkcija dodata softveru registra pomaže u sprečavanju prevara i u krajnjoj liniji ograničava koruptivno delovanje.
When Ailleene Joy Verbo was a child, she loved listening to her grandfather’s solar-powered radio. “Our rural village did not have electricity,” she said. “The radio broke the quietness of the day.”
The joy of being healed and returning to regular life beamed on the face of Bountou Sylla, a 21-year-old trader from Souguéta, a village 60 kilometers north of Kindia in the lower Guinea region. Sylla had suffered extremely painful complications during her second pregnancy.
Za hiljade stanovnika Kosova koji su pobegli od nasilja tokom oružanih sukoba u zemlji u period od 1988-99, povratak u spaljene domove i privreda u rasulu predstavljali su velike izazove I teškoće.
The school environment for many young Malian children is not conducive to learning to read. Overcrowded classrooms; poorly trained and poorly paid teachers; lack of books, materials and space; no electricity; very little access to preschool; and no books at home are only a few of the obstacles children have to face.
Pit bulls may be dogs of rare courage, but they must be trained to fight. The same requirement applied to Adnan Tulić, who says the specialized training he received through USAID was the best thing that could have happened for his career as a prosecutor — and, it seems, the worst thing for criminals who cross his path, some of whom are now in jail.
Grace William, a female sex worker in Yambio, South Sudan, is visibly pregnant by a client who refused to use a condom. Like many female sex workers, she has been a target of violence. She is HIV-positive and has been on antiretroviral drugs for two years.
