Christlicher Hilfsverein Wismar e.V.

About us

Christlicher Hilfsverein Wismar e.V. has been helping people in Albania since 1992, especially in the poor mountain villages. In the first years we mainly brought aid supplies to the completely impoverished country. Today people from all over Germany and beyond take part in our annual christmas and family package campaigns. In addition, we contribute to the improvement of living conditions with long-term projects.

In 2012, we established the "Diakonia Albania" foundation as the local responsible body for our work. From Pogradec, it carries out relief operations, maintains social projects and helps to improve educational conditions and municipal work in the region. This structure gives us an even better local representation and ensures that our work can stand on its own feet in the long term.
