“Let’s Dance” Celebration Sets Fundraising Record More than €40,000 raised to improve health of women and children in Kosovo
25.09.2025
The 9th Annual “Let’s Dance” celebration hosted by Action for Mothers and Children set a record by raising more than €40,000 in support of AMC programs that are saving lives and creating healthier futures in Kosovo.
“The funds raised will have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of so many women and children,” said AMC Executive Director Rina Demiri Spahija. “Access to quality healthcare is not a privilege, it’s a fundamental right and the foundation for a healthy future.”
This year’s “Let’s Dance” brought together a few hundred AMC supporters on September 23 at AMC Hall. It was a night of music, networking and celebrating with purpose. Highlights included a live performance by Florent Abrashi, winner of The Voice of Albania 3, and an electrifying set by Adrian Berisha, whose vibes lit up this summer’s Sunny Hill Festival.
“Let’s Dance” is one of AMC’s largest annual fundraisers and supports AMC programs, which include free cervical cancer screenings; home visits for pregnant women, new parents and their children; and providing vital medications and equipment to help public health institutions provide better care. AMC partners include the Ministry of Health, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI).
Behare Zeqiri, one of the speakers at this year’s “Let’s Dance” event, shared the story of her twin sons, who were among the first newborns to benefit from AMC’s donations of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines.
“It was a very difficult time for our family because we didn’t know if they would make it, but after they received the therapy, they began to improve,” Zeqiri said. “Today, Orgesi and Orgeti are 19 years old, have finished high school, and have applied to become part of the police force. We are very proud of them and their journey. Thanks to God and thanks to AMC, today they are healthy—and for me, that is the greatest gift in life.”
Guests at this year’s “Let’s Dance” also heard from one of the beneficiaries of last year’s event, which raised 27,000€ to help provide insulin pumps and essential supplies for 10 children with type 1 diabetes. In a video message, Emi Uka, talked about what a huge difference the donated insulin pump has made for her 12-year-old son, Siar.
“Before we got the pump – that Siar now has thanks to AMC and the donors – it was very difficult for us to go out,” Uka said. “Today, Siar can go out by himself…I wish every child with diabetes had a pump, because the pump is not a luxury, it is a vital tool.”
