Down Syndrome Albania

Down Syndrome Albania empowers children with Down syndrome and developmental disabilities through therapy, family support, and advocacy, fostering inclusion and independence since 2013. Your support helps provide essential services for their growth.

They Run. You Support. 40 children access the services they need -&nbsp;Together, We Make a Difference! 💙💛 390 runners 🏃&zwj;♀️🏃&zwj;♂️🏃&zwj;♀️🏃&zwj;♂️. One cause 💙💛&nbsp;&euro;20,000 left to reach our goal 🎯! On 15 November&nbsp;2026, 390 runners will join the Tirana Marathon as part of team #RunForDSA &ndash; &quot;Race, Support like a Marathoner Down Syndrome Albania Foundation&quot; They are not just running for a medal or a personal record. They are running for a cause: to help children with disabilities access the therapies they need to communicate, develop essential skills, become more independent, and participate more fully in everyday life. This October, during Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we invite you to stand alongside our runners and turn their efforts into something truly meaningful. We are &euro;20,000 away from our fundraising goal! You don&rsquo;t have to run to be part of #RunForDSA! Our 390 runners are giving their time, energy, and determination to this cause. You can support their efforts by making a donation. Whether you contribute &euro;10, &euro;20, &euro;50, &euro;100, or any amount you choose, your generosity will bring us closer to our goal. Our #RunForDSA campaign has an ambitious but achievable target: &euro;50,000 to support four months of therapeutic services for children with disabilities attending the PRO PAK Service Center, operated by Down Syndrome Albania Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate donors and business partners, we have already raised &euro;30,000! (Donor Companies: Sisal Digital Hub Albania, Jet Bank, Blloshmi Fund, One Albania, Credins Bank, Fibank, Concentrix, Alumil Albania, Inditex Albania, Agral.al, Kurti UniBllok, Azure Dental, EasyPay, Fix, De&#39;Milia Barbers) Now we need your help to raise the remaining &euro;20,000. Why does your donation matter ❓ At our PRO PAK Service Center, children with Down syndrome, autism, and other developmental disabilities receive therapeutic support that helps them overcome everyday challenges and develop their abilities. For one child, progress may mean learning to communicate&nbsp;a simple need. For another, it may mean developing the physical skills to move more independently. For others, it means learning to express emotions, interact with people, or participate in daily activities that many of us take for granted. Every therapy session matters. Every step forward matters. And every child deserves the opportunity to reach their potential. Your donation helps&nbsp;us continue providing these essential services, including to children whose families cannot afford the full cost of therapy. And if you cannot donate, you can still make a difference by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. 390 runners are heading towards the finish line. Help us reach ours: &euro;50,000 for four months of therapy! 💙💛 DONATE TODAY. SUPPORT A RUNNER.
