Germin celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an unforgettable evening full of joy and meaningful moments.

 

Surrounded by an incredible community of friends, donors, supporters, and partners, we celebrated a decade of dedication to connecting and empowering the Albanian diaspora.

 

As we reflected on the past 10 years, we were reminded that GERMIN is more than an organization – it’s a movement powered by people, passion, and purpose. Together, we look forward to building more bridges, creating more opportunities, and driving meaningful change.

 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this milestone so special!

 

A special thank you goes to our extraordinary donors and sponsors – German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), USAID’s Private Sector-Led Workforce Development Activity, IBAS world, Theranda Wine, and Uje Mokne — for making this unforgettable evening possible.

 

We also extend our gratitude to the sponsors of the silent auction: Ariana Nila Jewelry, Fitore Syla, Brows by Fjolla, Butrint Morina, Dhe by Granita, and Theranda Wine.
