Under the slogan "Come and have a buddy beside you", the Down Syndrome Albania Foundation will organize a march on October 1st, in Tirana, as a part of the Down Syndrome awareness month.

The Buddy Walk is the most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down Syndrome community, established in 1995 to advocate for the rights and needs of people with Down Syndrome. Since 1995, it grew into a movement with more than 250 Buddy Walks around the world every year. In Albania, the Down Syndrome Albania Foundation is a local partner of the Buddy Walk campaign, and will be organizing the walk in Tirana. The Buddy Walk will end at the Toptani Shopping Center, with a fundraising concert by many popular Albanian singers who will join the campaign and support people with Down Syndrome. Come, join the walk and support the cause!
