Education is the most powerful tool a child can have — but in Albania, poverty still decides who gets to use it. We are changing that, one child at a time.
In Albania, one in five children from low-income families drops out before finishing secondary school. The reasons are consistent: no supplies, no support at home, no realistic path forward. Poverty doesn't just limit opportunity — it erases the belief that opportunity exists.
Our Childhood Education program attacks all three barriers at once. We equip children with what they need, support them academically, and open doors that cost and circumstance have kept closed.

An education support project serving children in the Elbasan region, ensuring access to learning resources and academic assistance.
A partnership program supporting students at NSHU through scholarships, mentorship, and access to educational resources.
An education initiative reaching children and young people in Peqin with targeted learning support and school readiness programs.

Our intake process is fast, discrete, and built around the child's dignity.
Teachers, school counselors, or parents identify children who would benefit. We also conduct outreach in communities with high dropout rates.
A coordinator meets the family to understand the child's specific situation, academic standing, and what kind of support would help most.
We assemble a personalised support package — supplies, tutoring schedule, scholarship application, or digital access depending on need.
A coordinator checks in each term. Children who succeed are encouraged and supported to continue — all the way through university if needed.
€10 equips a child for the school year. €250 funds a university semester. Every contribution opens a door that poverty tried to close.
