Roma family in Serbia

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Giltena Duda and her husband Ismet Sabanaj, here with three of their six children, live in the Zemun Polje Roma neighborhood of Belgrade, Serbia. Ms. Duda is pregnant with her seventh child. They are Roma refugees from Kosovo, and thus legally marginalized in Serbia. They built their home on unregistered land and pirate their electrical hookup. Without legal residency, their children can't attend a regular school, and they have difficulties getting formal employment. Yet both participate in an adult literacy program sponsored by the Branko Pesic School, where their children attend classes. The school is supported by Church World Service.
