Giving Hope, Changing Lives.

We believe every child and young person deserves a safe place to live and people who care about them. Since 1995, we have been helping those in need with family homes, daily activities, and summer camps, giving them hope and support for a better future.

Projekti Shpresa was created in 1995 to help orphans and people with disabilities who needed care, support, and a safe place to live. At that time, there were not enough services for these vulnerable groups, so the project started with the goal of improving their lives and giving them better opportunities for the future.

In the beginning, Projekti Shpresa provided basic care, a safe home, and emotional support. Over time, it grew to offer more services, including social programs, education, therapy, and activities to help people become more independent. The team of caregivers, volunteers, and community members worked together to make sure each person received the support they needed.

Today, Projekti Shpresa continues to grow, always focusing on giving hope and help to those who need it most. Through hard work and dedication, the project has made a big difference in many lives and remains committed to providing care, safety, and opportunities for
