Naxhije and Fahri Buçinca are a couple from Vushtrri who went door-to-door during the 1990s to find girls who had quit school and to help them continue their education.
For the Buçinca couple, convincing parents to allow their daughters to go back to school was more difficult in cases when the mentality - rather than poverty - was the reason behind their reluctance.
“That’s what kept us alive, the joy that we felt from putting a girl back in school."
