Community Association
of Domokos Márton Kert
City of Debrecen
Hungary
Opre Roma as a non-governmental organization was
set up by the Roma (Gypsy) residents of the Domokos Marton Kert
settlement in Debrecen (eastern Hungary) The NGO aims at the improvement
of the health and life of its members and Roma people in general.
Our priorities include to implement a housing project along with
community and cultural development, education, training and employment.
Since 2003, Roma and non-Roma have worked together
voluntarily for the above aims. Opre Rome runs its programmes with
the help of researchers of the Faculty of Public Health, University
of Debrecen who came into contact with the community during a field
research project on the environmental health of Roma communities.
The Association firmly believes that the only sustainable solution
towards health and a better quality of life for Roma should be integrative
and complex, encompassing housing, training, employment and community
development. Here you can find further information on the past activities
of the community as well as plans for the future.
