- Population: 3.5 million

- Almost 90% of the poor live in rural areas
Albania is one of Europe's poorest countries and suffers from massive unemployment. The country's infrastructure and services are weak and deteriorating. Many families lack access to basic services such as water, sanitation, health, and education.
Adding to the fragile situation, nearly 500,000 Kosovon refugees fled into Albania in the aftermath of ethnic unrest and upheaval.
Islamic Relief in Albania
Islamic Relief was one of the first NGOs to deliver aid to the Albanian people, with a large delivery of food and clothes within months of the collapse of the communist regime. Subsequently, Islamic Relief has remained a constant, dependable presence in the country and now has field offices in Shkodre (Northern Albania), and Pogradec (Eastern Albania).
Islamic Reliefs 'Food for Work' programs in partnership with the World Food Program (WFP) alone benefit 750,000 people. In addition, Islamic Relief's work includes emergency flood relief, orphan sponsorship, widow's welfare and vocational training. |
