Charity Hike Albania 2025 April & May: Blessed to Bless

We will organise our next Charity Hikes in April and May next year.
4 Days of a serious Hike through the Stunning Beauty of the Albanian Landscape. Check here the pictures of the first Charity Hike from5 till 11 of June ’24.

Experience the Majesty of the Albanian Mountains

On this trekking adventure, we will traverse some of the most breathtaking mountain landscapes and explore the stunning Shebenik National Park in Albania. Along the way, we’ll contemplate the many facets of Blessing in a spiritual and creative way, while immersing ourselves in the awe-inspiring natural surroundings.

Our goal is to combine an unforgettable experience with supporting our organization that helps prisoners and their families. Participants are asked for a contribution of €1,250 (approx $1,300) per person, covering around €350 for costs and €900 as a donation to our cause. So it’s wise to start thinking about fundraising activities.

What to Expect:

  • 6 days with a 4-day guided hike focused on the theme of Blessing
  • Profound encounters with people from the communities we serve
  • Costs of €1,250 excluding airfare, including accommodation, transport, guides, meals and a donation to our ministry
  • Group size of 7-12 participants
  • Ability to hike up to 7 hours per day, so average fitness level required

Join us on this transformative journey through Albania’s natural wonders in support of a deeply meaningful cause. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today!

Our Annual Report 2023

We’ve been able to do a lot as Prison Fellowship Albania in 2023 with a major impact on the lives of several hundreds of imprisoned men and women, of several hundreds of families of prisoners and dozens of partnering churches and volunteers.
Our work and our workers are gradually professionalizing, and this is seen in the Albanian community where we’re active.
Partnering churches and volunteers appreciate that they are also part of this quality improvement process.

It is remarkable that we are still allowed to continue to do our work with so much freedom of action and additionally with so much maximum support in both Albania and abroad.

Your End of Year Gift

Sorry! This product is not available for purchase at this time.

The women of the prison hospital are (mentally) sick, and the increasing winter cold makes everything worse. But they love it, when our chaplain comes. She brings words of Hope, she shows love and attention and that alone is a world of difference for them.
in the northernmost prison of Albania Reç our chaplain sometimes has up to 60 men that attend ‘church’ meetings. One man literally said: ‘This meeting gives me energy for the whole week’. That’s also what several men of the prison in Fushe Kruje told me in private about our group: ‘Thank you so much for coming. I’m always looking forward to your arrival’.


We can share similar stories of families of prisoners: No one cares for us, we could as well not exist, but you come and look after us’

YOU can help us to change these people’s future!
