February 2, 2012


Bad weather and snow falls in North Albania.

Difficult situation for roma people in Shkoder.



Two representatives from Roma communities that lives in tents and cabins in suburbs of Shkodra (shore Buna River) asked “Malteser Ndihmon ne Shqiperi” to support them in these cold, snow days.

During these days it’s not possible for us to earn daily bread (begging, collecting and selling scrap and plastic materials).

40 families have nothing to eat.

One of the representatives said: we asked for support state institutions but no one has responded to our request.

In the facilities of MNSH office, its staff and volunteers prepared hot meal for 130 Roma people. MNSH staff and volunteers shows a special attention to 65 children that are part of this community.

Since this evening every day we continue to serve hot meal for this community.

MNSH supports them also with basic medical assistance.
