Overviewof our work in Albania
The Family International in Albania (since 1995) is committed to spreading the message of God's love and hope, and putting this message into action. We are full-time volunteers actively involved in bringing about change in the lives of the Albanian children and young people.
Our members aid the disadvantaged through a variety of programs, providing humanitarian assistance, medical aid, food, and clothing for the underprivileged, visitation programs at hospitals, orphanages and child institutions.
Our volunteer efforts extend beyond providing humanitarian assistance to those in need, to providing spiritual assistance to people from all walks of life. Today's world is a complex, materialistic one, where the important values of love and faith are often neglected.
Family volunteers strive to meet the need by providing counsel and support to young and old alike, helping them in their hour of need. Many individuals and organizations have extended public commendation for our efforts and for those who would like to get involved, we can offer opportunities to take part.
Project Highlights
Humanitarian Aid, Albania
| The Family International has delivered 4000 kilos of humanitarian aid, consisting of winter clothes, shoes, and food to needy families. In cooperation with the German charity, "Care in Action," we arranged the transportation of these goods from Germany to Albania. During a one-month period, our volunteers were involved in house-to-house distribution to approximately 200 families, as well as staging a series of lively shows for about 250 poor children in the area.
Community Leadership Course, Albania
| We hold Christian leadership training courses that provide the students with the opportunity to participate in projects where they learn to formulate plans and follow through on them. This practical training has provided assistance with developing skills in teamworking, communication, efficiency, and time management. At the completion of the six-month course each student receives a certificate, and most now participate actively in our regular volunteer projects.
