Albania
History
Albania is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Under
communist repression, it became one of the most isolated and
economically underdeveloped countries in the world. Since elections
in 1992, which ended communist rule, Albania has experienced
political instability with rioting and economic collapse. In 1994,
the Albanian government gave Mission Without Borders its highest
commendation - the Mother Theresa Award.
Today

For many, simply providing enough food, clothing and medicine to
live is a daily challenge. Around the main cities, many families
salvage rubbish to survive. Infant mortality is high.
Mission Without Borders has established various aid, health and
outreach programmes. Working in partnership with local churches we
support individuals and communities.
We also sponsor Si Jeni, a quarterly Christian newspaper which
reaches thousands of people each year.
