Since 2014 the Albanian Bar Association has been undertaking the AABA Albanian School & Orphanage Project to keep true to its long held goal of promoting education, securing necessary supplies for children and helping our fellow Albanians and Albanian Americans around the world.  Over the years, AABA has provided supplies and equipment such as books, computers, rugs, washing machines, new heating and air conditioning systems, math tools, speakers and sports equipment at no charge to schools and orphanages that are most in need of assistance. AABA carefully chooses the recipients of the donations to ensure that donations for the project go directly to the needs of the children. We also confirm every donation by collecting photographs and videos from the schools and orphanages as they receive their donated items.

This Project Is In Memory Of Arthur Chako (1925-2013)

The driving force behind this project stems from the eternal inspiration that the late Arthur Chako, a Permëtar and AABA member, bestowed upon all those who met him. His deep appreciation and emphasis on the importance of education and on the simple joys of helping one another, especially fellow Albanians, resonates throughout the missions of the AABA today.  I perjetshem qofte kujtimi i tij.
