Our Commitment to Giving Back
At Albania DMC, we believe that travel should create not only extraordinary experiences but also lasting, positive impacts on the communities and environments we visit. This belief led us to establish the Albania DMC Foundation, a non-profit initiative dedicated to community development, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare.
Every year, we donate 10% of our company’s profits into projects that directly benefit Albania’s people, heritage, and natural landscapes. Whether it’s supporting local artisans, funding educational programs, or rescuing stray animals, we are committed to ensuring that tourism becomes a catalyst for positive change.
Our Key Initiatives:
We work closely with local villages, schools, and social enterprises to improve livelihoods and create sustainable opportunities. Our community-driven projects include:
Education for All: Providing scholarships, and donating essential learning materials to underprivileged children.
Women’s Empowerment: Supporting female entrepreneurs in rural areas with training and access to markets.
Local Business Development: Partnering with small businesses to promote authentic, sustainable tourism experiences that benefit locals directly.
Youth Empowerment Programs: Providing vocational training, internships, and mentorship programs for young Albanians to build career opportunities.
Albania is home to thousands of stray dogs and cats, many of whom suffer from neglect and malnutrition. Our foundation is dedicated to:
Sterilization & Vaccination Programs: Working with local veterinarians to control stray animal populations humanely.
Animal Rescue & Adoption: Providing shelter, food, and medical care for abandoned animals and finding them loving homes.
Building Animal Shelters: Constructing safe, well-maintained shelters to house rescued animals until adoption.
Emergency Veterinary Aid: Offering free medical care for injured and sick strays through a network of volunteer veterinarians.
