Helping the Children of Albania

In the early 1990s, Albania abandoned its long-time Communist rule in favor of democracy. The country suffered severe economic hardships because of the onslaught (into Albania) of thousands of ethnic Albanian Muslims exiting the former Yugoslavia. As a result, Albanian children are suffering severe consequences.

25% are orphans, most of whom are babies because it is common in Albania for mothers to abandon their children if they are born out of wedlock. The remaining 75% come from varying backgrounds. Some children were abandoned due to divorce. In Albania, if a divorced woman remarries, her second husband can refuse to take care of the children from her first marriage. Others come from families who are living in extreme poverty and cannot afford to care for them. You can help VOGG Ministries  bring much needed stability into the lives of these children by providing much needed care for their physical an spiritual needs.
