A measure of the generosity by Irish farm families.

Ahead of the Kosovo v Ireland game in Pristina, we here at Bóthar know that there are times when we are all on the same side.

Bóthar are delighted to announce a grant of €10,000 to support tillage farming communities in the Municipality of Istog, in partnership with Meshqerra. The project will repair storm damage and restore critical infrastructure for these small holder farmers and their families.

It's a win-win.


We may have some extra support on our side tonight!

Creating a Buzz with Bóthar 🐝
An update on our International Women’s Day 2026 ( ) project. Bóthar through our partner NGO Meshqerra (Ozhr Meshqerra) distributed essential beekeeping equipment to 31 women beekeepers in Kosovo.
While 30 women were initially selected, their cooperation and careful purchasing enabled them to secure 31 beekeeping kits—allowing one additional farmer, one additional family, to benefit from this support. Making a bigger impact.
The event on Friday 5th June was attended by the Mayor of Deçan, representatives from the Directorate of Agriculture, and the Chairwoman of the Beekeepers’ Association “Aldi”, demonstrating strong local support for women farmers.
To our Irish donors—this isn’t just our work, it’s your impact in action. You made this happen. Go raibh maith agaibh go léir/Thank you all.💚
