Shoqata Humanitare Peja (Peja Humanitarian Association New York)

Shoqata Humanitare Peja, also known as the Peja Humanitarian Association New York, is an Albanian-American diaspora organization listed in the Bronx, NY. It is part of a network of regional humanitarian associations formed by Albanians from Kosovo who have settled in the New York metropolitan area, in this case tied to the city of Pejë (Peja) in western Kosovo.

The association presents itself as a nonprofit and operates as a humanitarian and community group for Peja-origin Albanians in New York. Its public work has included organized aid campaigns, among them a distribution of more than 400 packages to beneficiaries reported by Albanian-language media. Alongside relief work, the group hosts community gatherings, including a year-end event closing out its 2024 activities.

Governance runs through an elected structure. The association holds regular elections for a president (kryetar) and a leadership board (kryesia), a process that has been covered in Albanian-language community video reports.

The organization is also recognized by Kosovo's government as a diaspora interlocutor. Kosovo's Minister of Local Government Administration, Elbert Krasniqi, visited Shoqata Peja in New York and met with its representatives to discuss diaspora engagement, as reported by the Kosovo outlet Telegrafi.

Its audience is the Albanian-speaking community of Peja heritage in the New York area, with communications carried out in Albanian across social media and diaspora press.
