It supports children, youth, and vulnerable communities through education, vocational training, social inclusion, and employment opportunities. “From Exclusion to Inclusion: A Pathway to Employment and Social Empowerment for Youth in Fier” is a three-year project implemented by Qendra Sociale Murialdo in Fier, Albania, with the support of the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation (NaEPF). The project aims to improve the lives of vulnerable young people, Roma children, and children from disadvantaged families by increasing access to education, vocational training, employment opportunities, and inclusive social activities. Young people aged 15 to 30 will benefit from modern vocational training, practical learning, digital and employability skills, entrepreneurship support, internships, and cooperation with local businesses. These activities will help them build confidence, gain professional experience, and improve their chances of employment or self-employment. The project also supports Roma children and other vulnerable children aged 6 to 15 through safe school transportation, after-school educational support, recreational activities, and an inclusive summer camp. Through these actions, the project seeks to reduce barriers linked to poverty, exclusion, distance from services, and limited opportunities. Its expected impact is to improve school attendance, strengthen skills and employment prospects, promote social inclusion, and help children and young people in Fier build a more dignified and hopeful future.
