Serbia Romani Children’s Program

This initiative provides various charitable activities for at-risk children from different Romani communities. These activities include kids clubs, homework clubs, summer camps, providing food, clothing, shoes, mentoring, and more.

In 2023, Serbia was ranked as one of the 10 poorest nations in Europe, with varying degrees of poverty among its population. The community noted above is considered the most impoverished, and unfortunately, the prospects for a successful future for its children are bleak. The aim of this initiative is to boost the self-esteem, confidence, and aspirations of these children, motivating them to strive for success, including pursuing higher education such as university. Serbia has experienced conflicts and economic struggles throughout the last century, causing lasting hurt and pain. Those involved in this project are dedicated and make the most of their limited resources.

KRESGE FAMILY

About Us

We’re Mark and Natalie Kresge, founders of The Collaborative Project. We have been married since 2011 and have two children, Jude and Ivy. We are passionate about building healthy families, discipleship, generosity, prayer, old timey movies and sushi.

In early 2020, God awakened a dream within us to see revival in Europe. Although we have always loved the nations of the world, God has birthed a passion in our hearts to see communities in Europe saturated with the love and power of God. We have given our yes to the Great Commission to Go (Matthew 28), the Great Commandment to Love (Matthew 22), and the Great Collaboration to Unify for God’s glory (John 17).

“Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple fact it leaves God out of the account.”  

— E.M. Bounds

Our sincere belief is that prayerful dependence on God is the source of strategy for Kingdom advancement. We recognize that His thoughts and ways are higher. We prioritize personal and corporate prayer to seek God for direction, assignment, and open doors to do His will.
