“We have been together when there were floods, when building kindergartens, when planting trees. We have been together when building playgrounds and I’m glad we are again together at this activity of solidarity in the occasion of the Blessed Month of Ramadan, for all the families and children in need, in the city of Tirana.” Veliaj stated.

The Turkish Ambassador in Tirana, Mr. Murat Ahmet Yörük, highlighted that Turkey will always stand by the people in need.

“As known, the month of Ramadan is the month of solidarity, brotherhood and unity. The month of Ramadan is also the month of aid, solidarity and of giving a helping hand to those in need and the month that makes people better. We are here today to give the helping hand to our Albanian brothers in this blessed month. You are never alone, the Turkish state and people will always stand by your side”, the Ambassador Yörük stated.

The Head of “ALSAR” Foundation, Mr. Mehdi Gurra, stated that until now, they have enabled the distribution of aids for the orphans in some cities of Albania.

In the ceremony, he stated that, “Since 2008, we have been engaged in supporting and helping families in need and orphan children. I hope that this aid will continue in the future”. “In this Blessed Month of Ramadan, our Foundation has committed to helping 7500 families. Until now, we have enabled the distribution of aids to the orphans in the cities of Elbasan, Librazhd, Prrenjas, Pogradec, Bilisht, Korça, Erseka, Fushë-Kruja, Laç, Lezha, Shkodra and Koplik.

TIKA coordinator in Tirana Mr. Necip Özay Özütok, representatives of Turkish institutions in Albania, and orphan children’s’ parents were also part of the activity.

In a country like Albania, where social policies are limited due to the insufficient income at national level, there is a great number of impoverished people and families, whose only hope is to live normally. These people are supported by the society.

To continue ensuring aids to these poor social classes, the “ALSAR” Foundation in the framework of its humanitarian solidarity activities, on February 24, 2018, in cooperation with the Municipality of Belsh, carried out the program, “Humanitarian solidarity towards people in need during the winter season”, through which the provision aids contingent which comprised of food, was aimed, to contribute somehow in alleviating their economic condition.

Thanks to this successful cooperation and support provided by the Germany-based Organization of Social and Humanitarian Aids “HASENE”, 200 families of the city of Belsh benefitted from this project humanitarian aids in food packages.
