Albania

After the opening of the country in 1991, there was great hope for progress in Albania. The influx of international companies created long-awaited jobs. But now there is a shortage of qualified specialists. Those with an education are leaving the country due to a lack of prospects.

MORE THAN DAY CARE
Around 90 children and their families are cared for in the Nishtulla Roma district. The children receive hot meals, homework help, attend summer camps and hear about the Good News. Currently, the second generation of the neighborhood already attends the daycare center. This long and persistent work is bearing fruit: Nishtulla has an increasingly good reputation and the positive effects on the population are more and more visible.
TANGIBLE EMERGENCY AID
Many families in rural areas suffer from broken homes. Time and again, parents leave the rest of the family stranded. The income is barely enough for daily living - as soon as a medical emergency or a leak in the roof comes along, the situation becomes precarious. Our partners help with food parcels, medical support and very practical help where it is needed.
