The Association of Young Roma is a non-profit organization, which enters actively into all processes connected with Roma communities in Slovakia. AYR realised a research on the Roma population living style and conditions to find as exact picture about the situation of Roma population in Slovakia.
The principal goal of AYR is to unify the intellectual potential of young Roma generation and the direct help with the social and working inclusion into society. The philosophy is based on the systematic and long-term influence on Roma population, physically and socially disadvantaged citizens and low-income families through various projects and programs.
