Kosovo’s Millennium Foundation was in Peja today to present a yet another informative session on the Women in Energy Scholarship Program. Through this program, 25 Kosovar women will be able to take fully scholarship funded studies at Iowa’s DMACC and other accredited colleges.
At the opening of the session, Violeta Krasniqi Rexha, MFK’s Social and Gender Inclusion Specialist, presented the MFK approach to reducing gender inequality in the energy sector through various projects foreseen in the program. The Women in Energy Scholarship program, she said, is a program that aims to support women and girls to engage and find jobs in the energy sector.
