World Vision Albania Impact Report 2022

“We all witnessed in 2022, how the lives especially those of children and youth were affected directly by critical events. They have experienced the psychological, social, and economic effects of the humanitarian crisis of the war in Ukraine, the 2019 earthquake, and Covid-19 pandemic. While World Vision International is offering support to lighten the effects of these events, World Vision Albania continued to work in some of the most affected areas and communities, who are experiencing deprivation, discrimination, abuse or natural disasters.

Even though the vulnerability factors are persisting, the inspiration to continue this mission comes from Savina, Bledar, Antoneta, Ivana, and thousands more children and adults, who work with World Vision in bringing transformation and well-being of children and communities. They are people who serve, people who find hope in serving others and go beyond what is expected. In this report you will not find only figures and numbers, but also real life stories of transformation. Stories of children and family members who were positively impacted by the work of World Vision Albania. I invite you to read through and get inspiration from the joint work of many people who care and are doing concrete and meaningful actions for the wellbeing of the children and youth, especially the most vulnerable ones,” - Eljona Elmazi, National Director, World Vision Albania.
