Until now ADRA Albania has operated in different areas of the country thus targeting different Roma and non-Roma communities. ADRA Albania is part of the International Network of ADRA organizations that is composed of 130 NGOs around the world.

Through an international network, ADRA delivers relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 130 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, or religious association. By partnering with communities, organizations, and governments, ADRA is able to improve the quality of life of millions.
