“Me different!”

Foundation “Global Care Albania”, Bathore

Global Care Albania is an organization that works with children in risk. The work of this organization in Albania started in 1999, after the Kosova war. Bathore is a peripheral area of Tirana and it was created by the illegal migration of the population from the rural and isolated area of Albania. The poverty, social and economic problems encouraged the association to start organizing children’s program, including even elements from daily life like school, family, society. One of the main challenges that this association is facing from more than 16 years is the vulnerability of children and women. The violence and aggression against women remains a big challenge. The association in 2001 was placed in Bathore with a social center where are implemented all the activities. Another new center in a different place was inaugurated in 2013.
