Mane Foundation and QTU have become long-term supporters of children and young people with Down syndrome, cooperating with the Down Syndrome Albania Foundation. Through the provision of therapies, educational equipment for specialized centers, and employment initiatives, Mane Foundation and the first shopping center in Albania have contributed to the creation of a better quality of life for the people of this special community and their families.
Individual therapies funded by Mane Foundation and QTU have improved the children’s verbal, cognitive, and social skills, empowering them to be more independent in self-care and the learning process. Therapists at the Down Syndrome Albania Center are optimistic about interaction and emotional intelligence results.
However therapeutic sessions and psychological support go beyond developing a perspective of the children’s future. They have had a direct positive impact on their families. Parents are also the focus of the support from Mane Foundation and QTU, being trained in the implementation of the Individual Education Plan, under the guidance of professional therapists.
Among others, the staff of QTU employees are also engaged in this initiative, organizing entertaining activities from time to time. This commitment will continue with the goal of empowering the community of individuals with Down syndrome.
