Gjergj Kastrioti Foundation — Tirana, Albania
Changing and saving lives.
He who changes a life changes an entire world; he who saves a life saves an entire world.
Bashkimi bën fuqinë.
Unity makes might. United we stand, divided we fall.
Our calling
Go and teach, healing the nations
Centred in Tirana, Albania, we follow Jesus’ three-fold strategy.
I
Preaching
Public speaking in seminars and conferences across Europe, with Religions for Peace and the Inter-Religious Council of Albania.
II
Teaching
Building model lectures, classes and schools, including the Foundation’s own education programmes.
III
Healing
All aspects of human development: body, mind, spirit and society.
Freedom I brought you not, but I found it already in your midst, in your hearts.
Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeg, 1405–1468
1443

25 years

Free to choose, free to learn
Freedom is the essential right everyone needs. From the Magna Carta and the US Bill of Rights to Albania’s Act of Independence, freedom has been won by those who stood for it.
Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, Albania’s national hero, led his country to freedom from the Ottoman Empire for 25 years, until his death on 17 January 1468. His example of truth, freedom and love is the foundation we build on.
