EU4SocialCare: Social Transport Services for People with Disabilities in Kamza, Albania

Individuals with disabilities and families in need in Kamza, Albania, will benefit from a new service backed by the European Union.

The EU4SocialCare project, which supports these individuals and families, is valued at 3.1 million euros and encompasses 14 municipalities in Albania.

Launched in 2023 and set to conclude in 2026, the project aims to enhance partnerships and local capabilities for planning, executing, and expanding social care services.

The municipalities involved include Gjirokastër, Vorë, Cërrik, Librazhd, Kavajë, Kurbin, Kukës, Krujë, Pogradec, Korçë, Kamzë, Vlorë, Elbasan, and Durrës.

As part of the initiative, a fully accessible vehicle has been introduced in Kamza to assist persons with disabilities in accessing medical appointments, public offices, and essential services, addressing transportation challenges that hinder their fundamental rights.

Kamza’s mayor, Rakip Suli, emphasized that this social transport service represents a significant advancement in supporting individuals with disabilities in the municipality.

Additionally, the Multifunctional Center in Kamza offers a variety of services, including educational activities for children, family counseling and support, therapy for individuals with disabilities, and specialized services like speech and language therapy.

These services aim to foster a safe and inclusive environment for those in greatest need, providing the care and support they require.

The European Union funding is administered by UNICEF and World Vision, in partnership with the “Together” Foundation, the municipality of Kamza, and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. (September 19)

    Oh great, just what Kamza needed—a fancy bus for the disabled! Because, you know, spending 3.1 million euros on a vehicle is totally the cure for all social ailments. 🚍💸

  3. Oh, fantastic! A shiny new bus for those in Kamza—because nothing says “we care” like a vehicle funded by a small fortune from Brussels. 🚍💸 Just what they needed to navigate the ‘bumpy’ roads of social care!

    Oh, splendid! Nothing like a 3.1 million euro project to remind us that good old-fashioned public transport was just too passé for Kamza. 🚍💸

    3.1 million euros for social transport in Kamza? That’s like buying a sports car to drive to the corner shop. 🚗💸 But hey, at least the ride will be comfy while we solve all the world’s problems, one accessible vehicle at a time!

    Oh, brilliant! Because nothing screams “support for the disabled” quite like a 3.1 million euro project that takes three years to roll out a minibus in Kamza. 🚍💸

    Brilliant! Just what Kamza needed, a 3.1 million euro project to remind us that some folks still can’t catch a bus. 🚍💰 Hope that accessible vehicle has a better sense of direction than the EU’s last summit!

    Oh, brilliant! Just what Kamza needed—an EU-funded bus service to whisk those with disabilities to their appointments, like a VIP ride to the opera, except it’s just for a check-up. 🚍💁‍♂️ Must be nice to finally have a means of transport that doesn’t involve a game of hopscotch across potholes!
