Throughout Albania there are many children like Koldi and Irena and communities that have never experienced the love of God, and never heard a story of hope. Entire communities are bound by the chains of poverty, social problems, and 50 years of communist isolation. World Vision is a witness of the real poverty. Working in impoverished communities throughout Albania, we strive to give a voice to voiceless, to model stewardship, to seek justice and to champion hope.
In collaboration with other local partners, World Vision is working with and advocating on behalf of the most vulnerable children and their families, through sponsorship, education, health, and economic development, child protection and advocacy programs to address and break these chains of the cycle of poverty. World Vision provides direct support to some of these families including: education materials, food packets, health services, and, in some extreme cases, household facilities.
Through World Vision support, Irena has started to attend the school more regularly, while Klodi attends only occasionally. World Vision has supported Klodi and Irena with books and other Educational materials. This family has been supported with food packages, especially during the winter times, when is very difficult for families like this to put food in the table. Last winter World Vision gave to the family a heater, as Librazhd is one of the coldest areas of Albania with a very harsh winter. The ADP is working step by step with this family and others like this, as is very challenging to tear down the deep roots of the poverty.
