God’s Plan

About

We believe good should be something you can see.

GOD'S PLAN exists to turn kindness into action.

How it started

It started with a simple question between a few friends in Tirana. We all knew someone who could use a little help — a neighbour, a family, a student. And we all knew the feeling of waiting for someone else to do something.

So we decided to stop waiting. We paid for one grocery basket. Then another. People started messaging us: 'How can I join?'

Today GOD'S PLAN brings people together from all over Albania to create practical moments of help — small and big — in streets, shops, homes and neighbourhoods.

How we organise

Simple, open, local.

No heavy hierarchy. Just people who take things on, and a clear way of working together.

  1. 01

    The core

    A small team in Tirana coordinates actions, tells the stories and prepares the transparency reports.

  2. 02

    Local teams

    Volunteers in towns and villages who know what their place needs and act on it themselves, with our support.

  3. 03

    Partners

    Local businesses that offer products, spaces and help for every surprise — always publicly named.

  4. 04

    The community

    Everyone who does an act of kindness and passes it on. This is the biggest part of the movement.

The people of the movement

Who makes GOD'S PLAN?

There is no 'us' and 'them'. Only people who decide to show up.

Students

They run the challenges, film the moments and bring the energy that keeps the movement alive.

Neighbours

They know every door on the block — and tell us who deserves a surprise.

Grandparents

They remind us that hospitality and helping each other have always been part of who we are.

What guides us

Four things we don't change.

Together

Nobody does it alone. The movement is all of us.

Action

Fewer words, more things done. Good should be felt.

Dignity

Everyone deserves to be seen with respect, not pity.

Hope

We believe in people. And people prove us right every day.

Our journey

From a question to a movement.

  1. The start

    A question among friends

    What if we stopped waiting for someone else to make things better?

  2. First step

    The first covered groceries

    A neighbourhood shop in Tirana, a checkout, and a lady who couldn't believe it.

  3. The echo

    "How can I join?"

    Messages started arriving from towns we had never even thought of.

  4. On the road

    The GOD'S PLAN Van

    A home on wheels to reach the places nobody usually goes.

  5. Today

    Teams across Albania

    From Shkodër to Sarandë — neighbours, students and businesses acting together.

  6. Next

    Every town. And the diaspora.

    We want every Albanian, wherever they live, to have a way to do good for home.

Why the name

God’s Plan

The name isn't religious and doesn't belong to any faith. It's a way of saying that nothing is an accident when people decide to be there for one another. Maybe the plan is simple: us.

The butterfly

The body of our butterfly is a person. The wings are everyone who lifts them up. The butterfly is change, movement, freedom and hope — and a reminder that the smallest things can start something big.

Clarity

What we are not

  • We are not a political party

    We support no party and no candidate. Good has no political colour.

  • We are not a religious organisation

    The name belongs to no faith. Everyone is welcome here.

  • We are not a money campaign

    We don't collect cash on the street and we don't show suffering. We show what happens when people help.

  • We are not a closed club

    No membership, fees or hierarchy. The movement belongs to whoever acts.

Starting in Albania

It starts here. It belongs to everyone.

From Tirana's neighbourhoods to mountain villages and coastal towns — GOD'S PLAN was born here, among people who know hospitality as a way of life.

Transparency

Every lek should be visible.

When people and businesses choose to contribute, they want to know where it goes. So we publish it.

  • 01A public report every three months with every action and what it cost.
  • 02Partners and businesses who support us are always named.
  • 03No story is published without the consent of the people in it.

First public report: coming soon.

Questions

What people ask us most

Is GOD'S PLAN a religious organisation?

No. The name belongs to no faith, and the movement is open to everyone regardless of belief, age or background.

How are the actions funded?

By people and businesses who choose to contribute — often with products rather than money. Every expense is published in the quarterly report.

How can I join?

Fill in the form on the 'Join us' page, or simply start a kindness today and share it with #BashkëBëjmëMirë.

Can I suggest someone for a surprise?

Yes. Write us their story — we listen carefully and handle it with complete privacy.

Do you film everyone?

Only with consent. If someone doesn't want cameras, the surprise happens without them.

Do you only work in Tirana?

No. We started in Tirana, but today we act in towns and villages across Albania.

I live outside Albania. How can I help?

Follow us, suggest someone in your hometown, or join as a remote creator.

Be part of it

You don't have to change the world. Start with one person.

One meal. One grocery basket. One school bag. One unexpected act of kindness. Small actions become something bigger when people do them together.
