– Description: Thumane was the epicenter of the Albanian earthquake – many buildings were destroyed, uninhabitable and/or dangerous. New Vision in collaboration with the local authorities was able to find a building in relatively good condition to create a multifunctional youth center. Roughly half of the money was used to purchase materials, computers, and furniture, and to redesign the space for use as a Youth Center. The center opened in 2021 and included activities for youth such as training on “Community Engagement”, workshops within the “SafeNet” program on cyberbullying, Outdoors Ambassadors Tirana, and the Embassy Youth Council of the American Embassy in Tirana.
