Mission, vision and strategy
Mobility restored, rights defended, barriers removed.
Shoqata e Rehabilitimit Fizik për Personat me Aftësi të Kufizuar (SHRFPAK) exists to make professional physical rehabilitation and full social participation available to every person with a disability in Albania.
Our mission
Our mission is to restore and sustain physical function, independence and quality of life for persons with disabilities in Albania by delivering advanced, evidence-informed physical rehabilitation services; by providing the assistive devices and mobility equipment that make daily life possible; and by advocating relentlessly for the equal rights of persons with disabilities in health care, education, employment and public space.
In practice this means that every person who contacts the association receives a professional functional assessment, an individual rehabilitation plan with measurable objectives, therapy delivered by qualified practitioners, and follow-up that continues after the clinical phase ends. It means that financial hardship must never be the reason a person stops therapy. And it means that when public infrastructure, services or attitudes obstruct a person with a disability, the association speaks on the record and works with the responsible institution to correct it.
Our vision
A fully inclusive Albanian society in which physical barriers are eliminated and every citizen — with or without a disability — has equal access to health care, rehabilitation, education, employment, transport and public life. In that Albania, rehabilitation is a normal, funded part of the care pathway; assistive devices are available where and when they are needed; buildings, pavements and services are designed for everyone; and a person with a disability is recognised first as a citizen with rights and ambitions.
Strategic goals
Six goals guide the association's planning, budgeting and partnership decisions.
1. Align with international disability rights standards
Anchor all services and advocacy in the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and recognised rehabilitation practice, and reflect those standards in our internal protocols, staff training and reporting.
2. Strengthen and expand rehabilitation capacity
Increase the number of therapy hours delivered each year at our centre at Rruga E Kavajës Nr. 169, Tiranë 1001, Albania, improve equipment, and shorten the waiting time between first contact and first assessment.
3. Expand regional outreach beyond Tirana
Extend mobile and home-based rehabilitation, device distribution and awareness activity to peri-urban and rural communities where no rehabilitation service currently exists.
4. Build sustainable community partnerships
Develop durable cooperation with municipalities, health institutions, universities, disability organizations and international donors, based on written agreements and shared reporting.
5. Professionalise the rehabilitation workforce
Continue certified practical training for physiotherapy students, nurses and caregivers so that accessible, dignified rehabilitation practice spreads across the Albanian health system.
6. Guarantee institutional transparency
Maintain audited records, publish activity and financial reporting to the General Assembly, and keep our legal identity (L42312451R), address and contact channels publicly verifiable at all times.
