Volontari nel Mondo RTM, a non-governmental international volunteering organization, has been active in Albania since 2013.
RTM promotes international cooperation and solidarity projects in various regions like Africa, the Balkans, Latin America, and the Middle East. In Italy, they are involved in information, awareness, and educational development activities since 1973. Their work in Albania began in 1999 when they assisted refugees from Kosovo in the Vau Deja area. In 2013, they opened an office in Vau Dejas, focusing on rural and mountain development in the municipalities of Vau Dejas, Puka, and Fushë Arrëz.
Mission includes promoting human dignity, protecting fundamental rights, and supporting socio-economic development processes while considering environmental sustainability.
Since 2014 RTM has collaborated with civil society organizations, informal groups, and other stakeholders at local and national levels to empower women and youth from rural areas. They also provide technical and financial assistance to small family businesses, particularly emphasizing the development of the sheep and goat breeding chain. Additionally, they have initiated projects to promote typical products and their regions of origin. RTM’s strength lies in its volunteers who are involved in development projects abroad and in Italy through awareness-raising activities, education, and fundraising campaigns
