Meeting refugees in the middle of their journey
IsraAID is supporting hundreds of Afghan women, men and children in Albania with trauma support, language classes, and self-care techniques as they make plans for their permanent resettlement.
After the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August, 2021, IsraAID collaborated with activists and governments to facilitate the evacuation of 167 vulnerable Afghans. They arrived in Albania in October, joining some 650 Afghans staying in Kolaveri, a resort on Albania’s west coast functioning as an emergency shelter.
After helping to facilitate the evacuation of these vulnerable Afghans, IsraAID is now supporting them and some 650 others long-term while they await permanent resettlement.
IsraAID is supporting Afghan community leaders to establish committees in Kolaveri, so that they can implement services and liaise with the resort management directly, which helps to preserve autonomy and independence. The committees include Resort Services and Security; Protection; Education; and Health.
