"Should I teach them or go to the mosque to beg for alms". This is how Elmaze Uka from Prishtina, a mother of four, begins her story, who spends the day on the streets, begging.

Near the traffic lights, in the mosque, in the cafeteria, the 42-year-old leaves no place without "extending" her hand. Whereas, in the evening she returns home with a maximum of four euros. She almost always has her little son with her, who is not yet one year old. She is afraid that he will get a cold, but also she is afraid of coronavirus.
