General Information
BUSTAN:Sustainable Community Action for Land and People, is an NGO that works in the Bedouin and Jewish communities of the Negev. Through analysis, education, and action, we work for fair resource allocation and environmental and social justice for all peoples in the region. we are 5 staff members and funded by foundations and individual donors.
Mission and Objectives

BUSTAN cultivates sustainable models to promote fair allocation of clean public resources. BUSTAN strives to present sustainable and replicable models for a healthy paradigm of development that serves both Jewish and Arab populations by promoting stewardship in the face of strident political wars over ownership of public resources.
As a Jewish-Arab movement for fair resource allocation, we seek to transform the excess of unsustainable consumption patterns into resource access for marginalized populations. We connect citizens with cost-cutting green technologies in order to spark consciousness of the wider benefits of sustainable living. The experience of self-reliance in lieu of waiting for government assistance is often a first step towards catalyzing renewal and social change.

Main Projects / Activities

We will concentrate our work in the Bedouin sector in one village (Kasser El Sir) for the next couple of years. Our goal is to create, with our partners in the village, a sustainable, “green” model for community involvement and advancement, which respects and preserves Bedouin culture while acknowledging the reality of the modern state. Almost all of our projects (shatla tree planning, permaculture, organic gardening, etc) will continue there, as different elements of the larger project. By focusing in one village, we will be better able to measure the actual impact of our work. Our goal is no less than to create a new model for Bedouin communities to be able to flourish in the Negev. We have a terrific team set up in Kasser Al-Sir that is already working with residents to research and analyze the needs of the community. We expect to physically break ground on the new project in late summer or early fall, funding permitting.

General Information
Krug started as a non-formal structure (1998-2001) and was transformed into NGO in 2002.It is run by a circle of young people from Kardzhali and Sofia, working in the field of art on both professional and voluntary level. Big part of activities is based on the two contracts for co-operation between Municipality Kardzhali and Krug in the field of culture and art for the period 2002-2013. The transformation of the old city gallery into an Art Center and of the 100 years old school building in Duzhdovnitsa village, inhabited only by the Turkish minority, into an European Cultural House (subject of the contracts) is the equivalent of the development of an art "zones" network for partnership with partners from Balkan and Mediterranean regions and EU countries. Budgetary resources available in a year: average 44 000 – 50000 euro. Staff: 2 at a full time, 7 at a part time, 27 volunteers.

Krug aims to investigate and to provide new art zones, including art village development, to bring young artists and poets together, to improve international relations between youngsters, to promote good art practices, addressing young people and to develop greater understanding of the creative process amongst communities across Europe and the Balkans.

Mission and Objectives

BiH society does not recognize women's rights as human rights. Women's NGOs promote women's human rights as a priority and significant element of BiH society in order to point out the state of social women's needs in relation to health protection, social care, employment, health, accommodation, education and non-discrimination.
In BiH the scope of women's human rights depends more on political and economic situation in the country than on legislation based on international human rights documents.
The difficult social context disables realization of rights guaranteed by local legislation and international conventions and declarations. There are many examples of violation of women's human rights.
Most of women are not informed about possibilities that certain laws and institutions can provide.
Žene Ženama has played a very important role in civil society development in BiH in area of understanding of the concept of «democracy» and «human rights».
By working on improvement of lives of women and other marginalized groups and individuals, we recognized disharmony between speeches of politicians about gender equality and their rejection to accept women out of their traditional roles. It stimulated us to reexamine women's approach to human rights and to let human rights be a priority in context of democratic reconstruction.
The model of our approach to women's human rights helped women to get rid of old symbiotic forms regarding male/ female relations determined by culture, religion, state and economic structure, but it also made us different from other groups.
By providing unique creative space for women's empowerment and advocacy in area of education, social rights, security, peace and gender equality, «Žene Ženama» members built an approach that preserves coherency of women's human rights and women's solidarity in BiH.
At the beginning, women establishers of «Žene Ženama» had different motives. Some of them wanted a safe space for articulation of war and post- war experiences; others wished for a creative space in which they will reexamine their knowledge through feminist theory and practice and plan actions in order to make changes in BiH society in area of human rights and male/ female relations.
Methodology and working principles
• Team work
• Feminist approaches in definition of goals and values of the organization
• Good information exchange
• Respect of diversities
• Good communication
• Motivation and voluntarism
• Partnership and solidarity
• Transparency of work and actions
The mission of the organization is a guideline for everyone whose social needs can be satisfied through the organization’s work. It determines the organization’s position in the society.
The mission is everlasting and came as a result of common work on definition of goals, values and future of the organization.

Main Projects / Activities

Žene Ženama has developed a program which integrates gender perspective in interpretation of human rights, democracy, feminism and non- violent communication using unique and creative model focused on education and activities of women and women’s groups in BiH context.
Program called «domestic concept of women's empowerment» is realized through:
• Education
• Support and
• Promotion
Program activities are education, research, publishing and public work.
Žene Ženama is aware of the current situation and that is why we rationally plan the activities by harmonizing our real goals with personal and organizational capacities as well as with assumptions of the surrounding which gives us possibility to find alternative ways of action which will lead us to the society which respects and realizes women's human rights.
