Sspolečně–Jekhetane

English translation: Společně-Jehhetane

Czech term or phrase: Sspolečně–Jekhetane
I'm editing a text written in EN which has these sentences:

"In 2005, the association Sspolečně–Jekhetane (Together) implemented a training programme .... received financial support from the city of Ostrava. Pre-school education and teaching of Roma children and their mothers are being been dealt with over the long-term by the Living Together association through the UPRE project.

Are we talking about teh same association, Sspolečně–Jekhetane, translated first as "Together" and then as "Living Together"?

And what does UPRE stand for?

TIA to the Czech community:-)

English translation:Společně-Jehhetane
Explanation:
It's a spelling mistake - should be written correctly - Společně-Jehhetane, It's a name of association, if you want to translate it, společně means together, jekhetane is probably the same in Gypsy language.
UPRE is the name of an NGO

I believe Společně-Jekhetane and Living Together are two different things.
As there exists the association Soužití, which can be translated as Living Together in Ostrava-Huntířov, Sodná 25/683
and then Společně - Jekhetane with the address Palackého 13/49, 70200 Ostrava .

Together


Explanation:
Czech: Společně (not sspolečně)
Roma: Jekhetane

"Upre" seems to be a Roma word for "steps". And it is a name of a beneficial organization: http://www.upre-roma.cz/

United


Explanation:
United could also refer to the organization, while the project name is Living Together. There is more information about org. in the link below. I would even leave the Jekhetane, as in United-Jekhetane, so that there is still reference to the minority organization language.

in this case, you may want to verify preference of your contact if that is possible
