In 2000, M-USA distributed almost 12.9 million pounds of wheat flour to approximately 200,000 vulnerable persons living in 364 towns and villages throughout Albania. Our clients included orphans, the elderly, single-parent families, persons with disabilities and the remaining Kosovar refugees.
Persons being assisted include orphans, the elderly, the unemployed and persons with disabilities.
WFP is funding this project. Mercy-USA, with the support of USDA, is planning to undertake a school lunch program for about 30,000 children attending approximately 80 primary schools in the economically depressed north and central regions of Albania. The objectives of the program are to encourage attendance, reduce drop out rates, especially among girls, and improve academic performance.
