Our purpose

As humanitarian missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints our purpose is to find organisations and individuals who are already working with the poor and needy. We identify ways that we can support and strengthen these organisations so that their capacity is expanded.  We look for partners who we can  work with on projects which will be sustainable, and  in this way, we help people to help themselves. Our aim is to relieve suffering and foster self-reliance for families of  all nationalities and religions.

This is the health centre in the village of Grabjan which is aprrox. 1 hour outside Tirana. We received a request to go there because they were needing some basic items of equipment.

Shall we start with a list?

New chairs for our waiting room please....

Very hard-working but frozen doctor.

Serious problems with leaking roof and building subsidance

Nurses office, Ola's heart went out.......

This is one of 3 nurses serving approx 5500 people, with 2 doctors.

The clinic provides all healthcare for families including babies and children.  The babys slide out of these scales so that is definitely on the list!!

These  pictures shows the simple life these villagers live. Their livlihood is mainly agriculture and they raise  sheep, chickens, pigs, cows etc. The staff at the medical centre work do a terrfic job in difficult conditions with limited resources.
