Today, for Giving Tuesday, we hope you’ll choose to support *One Heart Albania! 🇦🇱🫶😄
Here's just a few of the ways your donation can make a huge difference in the lives of abandoned children and vulnerable women and girls in Albania…
🇦🇱 Thanks to generous Albanian donors, last June, we launched our “Grandmothers for Children” program, hiring and training EIGHT grandmothers to help children in SEVEN orphanages, including a full-time facility for children with disabilities. So exciting! 👵🏻♥️👶🏼
🇦🇱 This year, we also celebrated the grand opening of the Women’s & Children’s Shelter in Korçë, Albania, which we completed construction on at a former orphanage of Mother Teresa! It now offers safety, stability, and a fresh start for women and children in crisis and will serve up to 190 women and children each year.

🇦🇱 And, with your help, we are expanding our Abandonment Prevention efforts with a Europe-wide initiative to END CHILD MARRIAG and prevent early pregnancies that often follow. We do this by partnering with governments and other NGOs to drive legal, systemic, and policy reforms that protect these girls, help them stay in school, and finish their education. Our partnering countries include , , , , , and counting! 🇦🇱🇧🇬🇲🇪🇷🇴🇦🇲
