REVIEWS FROM DONORS/CO-PARTNERS

“What I love about working with Utalaya Foundation is their unique approach, always coming up with impactful ideas and executing projects with meticulous adherence to procedures and deadlines, as well as their genuine love for nature and people. Their dedication always results in transformative results that make a real difference, to partners, target groups and the systems involved. ”

Shpend QamiliUnited Nations Officer, Programme Communications, Advocacy and Outreach

“It was a pleasure to work with Utalaya Foundation on the RUN FOR SHARR project. Their excellent execution of carefully thought out concepts not only achieved the required objectives, but also produced the vital awareness and sustainability we sought, making our partnership a joyful and strategic fulfillment of shared missions.”

“Utalaya Foundation has shown extraordinary responsibility in the activities supported by PPSE and at the same time is an exemplary model for women operating in the field of tourism. ”

Blerina Batusha XërxaHead of the Tourism Sector at SwissContact

“UNICEF in Kosovo has collaborated with Uta e Maleve (Utalaya) and the team to reach more children, especially girls, in rural areas, encouraging them to challenge themselves in areas they never thought they would engage in. Hundreds of packages of books and materials were distributed, thus reaching families where an initiative like Uta's was perhaps unimaginable. In terms of cooperation, Uta e Maleve and the team were professional, they worked with others according to needs and requirements, but they also did not hesitate to give ideas and guide what we can achieve together for the children of Kosovo!”
