QELIM KOSOVA

QELIM KOSOVA was established in February 2006 as a non-governmental and non-profit organization known as a Microfinance Institution and licensed by the Central Bank of Kosovo (CBK).
QELIM KOSOVA is the result of the five-year cooperation with CELIM Milano, Italian non-governmental organization which since 2001 has been involved in the microfinance project in order to help the most war-damaged families living in the Municipality of Gjakova. Therefore, the Microfinance Institution "QELIM KOSOVA" since that time has worked towards its goal of improving the living conditions of the community in the rural areas of the Municipality of Gjakova, and a part of the municipality of Rahovec which after the war is neglected faced with the difficulties caused by the conflict.
In December 2016, according to the suggestion of CBK, IMF "QELIM KOSOVA" is joined with the IMF "PERSPECTIVE 4" Klinë and with the IMF "MASHTKNA" Bresanë - Municipality of Dragash.
