Description

When Klementina Shahini was a child, nobody would have guessed that she would start the only Protestant Christian school in Albania. She was raised in a Muslim family. Together with her husband, she came to faith in Jesus shortly after the fall of Communism.

Lezha Academic Center is now the best-performing school in the region around Lezha. Klementina has worked on this for 14 years.

The Albanian state does not have money for Klementina's school. Only Muslim, Orthodox, or Roman Catholic schools receive funding. Therefore, finance has always been a central challenge for the school. But so far, the school has survived.
