Te godine se 13 entuzijasta različitog životnog doba i profesija (studenata, ekonomista, pravnika, arhitekata, turizmologa, penzionera…), okupilo sa zajedničkim ciljem da pokrene izuzetno pasivno i siromašno područje Jugoistočne Srbije. Ponosni smo na različitost naših članova, čuvamo je i pospešujemo jer smatramo da ne treba sputavati želje i spremnost ljudi da doprinose u sferama sopstvenog interesovanja i stručnosti. Ovo je na početku bilo od “životnog značaja “ za naše udruženje jer je naša sredina mala sa nerazvijenim civilnim društvom. Raznolikost našeg članstva nam je zauzvrat omogućila realizaciju:
- projekata i akcija od opšteg razvojnog značaja, koji svojim edukativnim, ekološkim i infrastrukturnim rezultatima doprinose stvaranju povoljnijeg razvojnog okruženja;
- projekata podrške usmerene ka zapošljavanju teško zapošljivih kategorija radno sposobnog stanovništva;
- projekata namenjenih deci i mladima;
- projekata namenjenih razvoju vaninstitucionalnih sistema socijalne podrške i akcijama hitne humanitarne pomoći, kojima brinemo o ugroženima i borimo se da naša zajednica sačuva humanost. Tokom različitih projekata pomogli smo i razvoju civilnog društva, specijalizovanog za različite teme (OSI, romska pitanja, ekologiju, kulturu, udruženja starijih sugrađana...). Zahvaljujući našoj podršci, u sredini u kojoj smo na početku bili jedina organizacija, nakon šest godina funkcioniše još 8 aktivnih organizacija. Danas (6 godina nakon osnivanja) okupljamo 26 aktivnih članova i 50 - 90 volontera iz redova nekadašnjih korisnika, spremnih za pomoć i akciju. Udruženjem rukovodi Upravni odbor na čelu sa predsednikom, koji se bira od strane Skupštine udruženja - glasanjem, sa mandatom od 4 godine, dok unutrašnu kontrolu vrši Nadzorni odbor. Naša misija je:
Doprinos održivom razvoju lokalne zajednice kvalitetnom identifikacijom i iskorišćenjem lokalnih potencijala uz istovremeno unapređenje stepena znanja , kreativnosti i društveno odgovornog ponašanja i odlučivanja stanovništva. Naša vizija su humane i ekonomski prosperitetne lokalne zajednice sa informisanim i društveno odgovornim građanima kao ključnim faktorima stabilnosti. Naša etika je zasnovana na:
- nezavisnom i odgovornom donošenju i realizaciji odluka;
- odgovornom, transparentnom, efektivnom i efikasnom odnosu prema poverenim finansijskim i materjalnim sredstvima iz donacija;
- poštovanju zajednica u kojima smo aktivni;
- poštovanju angažovanog osoblja, bez obzira da li se radi o volonterima ili plaćenom osoblju.

Association for Local Development Kamenica is a non-profit and non-party organization
formed in 2008. Back then, 13 enthusiasts of different life age and professions (college
students, economists, law workers, architects, tourismologists, pensioners...), have gathered
with a common goal - to start up the passive and poor area of southeastern Serbia. We are proud of the diversity of our members. We nurture and improve it because we think
that the wishes and willingness of people to contribute in the areas of their own interest and
workmanship should not be shackled. In the beginning, this was of "vital importance" for our
association because our area is small, with an undeveloped civil society. The diversity of our members enabled us to realize:
- projects and actions of general development importance, which use their educative,
ecological and infrastructure results to contribute to creation of a more convenient
development environment;
- support projects directed towards the employment of the hardly employable categories of
work-capable citizens;
- projects intended to children and the young.;
- projects intended to development of the non-institutional support and actions of the urgent
humanitarian help, in which we take care of the endangered and fight to save our
community's humaitarian spirit. During a variety of projects, we have contributed to development of the civil society,
specialized for different topics (PWD, Roma people, ecology, culture, local associations of the
older people...). Thanks to our support, in the area where we were the only organization
active, after 6 years there are 8 more active organizations. Today (6 years after the formation), we gather 26 active members and 50-90 volunteers -
former users ready for help and action. The Association is led by the administrative committee with a president, chosen by the
Association council by voting. The president has a mandate of 4 years, and the internal
control is done by supervision committee. All the guidance members (board members) are volunteers. Our mission is:
Contribution to the sustainable development of the local community using quality identification
and local potentials, simultaneously improving the level of knowledge, creativity and socially
responsible behavior and decision-making of the citizens. Our vision are humanitarian and economically prosperous local communities with informed
and socially responsible citizens as a key factor of stability. Our ethics is based on:
- independent and responsible realization and decision-bringing;
- repsonsible, transpared, effective and efficive treatment of the trusted financial and
material resources from the donations;
- respecting the communities we are active in;
- respecting the engaged staff - paid personell and volunteers alike.
