Fatmire Feka

Feka grew up in the ethnically divided village Koshtovë, Mitrovicë, Kosovo^[1] and is an Albanian Muslim.^[2][3] In 1999, during the Yugoslav Wars, Feka lost her two older siblings in Kosovo when they were attacked by Serbians and her family's house was set on fire.^[2][4]

When she was 16, she attended a World Vision International summer camp, which was attended by Serbian and Muslim young people.^[2] Inspired by this, in 2002, Feka founded "Kids Clubs for Peace."^[2][5] The club grew to over 14 multi-ethnic clubs across Kosovo by 2005.^[4]

In November 2002, Feka was selected as an "Angel of Hope" by World Vision Canada.^[4] In 2005, Feka was named a Nobel Peace Prize 1000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe (PWAG).^[1][4]
