About Rin'ON
Rin’ON was established in December 2013, born out of the collective passion and inspiration of a group of young individuals.
Our story began with our involvement in the project ‘Rinia dhe Qytetaria Aktive’ (Youth and Active Citizenship) organized by the Youth Sector of Ferizaj and supported by ForumCiv (formerly known as Forum Syd). The project ignited a shared desire to work towards a better community. The energy we experienced while working together was incredibly motivating, and it was clear that we wanted to continue making a positive impact in our community by activating youth.
Initially, Rin’ON was a non-formal youth club, where we could channel our enthusiasm and commitment by volunteering for the community and making a small impact. It was an exciting time as we formalized our group and carved out our unique identity. This journey of self-discovery and community service led us to officially register Rin’ON as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in 2017.
