3. SUPPORT OF VULNERABLE GROUPS

  • For women and girls
  • Youth, children and the elderly people
  • Roma people and other ethnic groups
  • Other groups


This is one of ABC Foundation’s important missions for the implementation of its strategy. In accordance with the operational capacities and as a response to the objectives for the improvement of socio-economic life, the Foundation will support even the less protected social groups of the society or vulnerable groups.The community of these layers of society will be in the focus of ABC Foundation’s efforts to improve the quality of their life and encourage their involvement in the socio-economic life in the country.These groups own unexploited development capacities, which is a phenomenon present not only in Albania. In order to revive these capacities, they need to be informed, organized, encouraged and be recognized with successful experiences. In this context, the ABC Foundation will accomplish its mission through undertaking concrete initiatives, activities and projects specifically for these groups.

Among the initiatives and projects that will be undertaken for this purpose, the Foundation will aim that these groups be more involved and active, as the remaining part of Albanian society. Information on topics of interest for these groups, support of them with funds in order to undertake a new business initiative or further develop their current business activities, would be efficient in the achievement of this goal. On the other side, strengthening of business partnerships, involvement in important national and international initiatives in business sector or socio-economical development will be the supporting platform for these groups.
