Earthquake: Caritas Int., crowdfunding to help Croatia
To allow local Caritas to provide housing for those affected
08 January, 15:14While over two hundred Caritas volunteers continue to distribute food and hygiene kits to people affected by the earthquake, long-term plans are being drawn up. "We want to help people rebuild their homes and their communities," added the deputy head of Caritas Croatia. The Caritas 8-month project will initially help around 200 families by providing prefabricated housing and financial and technical aid to enable people to repair their homes. In the area hit by the earthquake, not far from Zagreb, Caritas' response will support people living in rural areas. Suzana Borko reported that up to 90% of the houses in the villages between Petrinja and Glina were seriously damaged, "The primary objective of Caritas - she explained - is to offer decent housing and assist people in rebuilding their homes, and we will stay beside these communities until we achieve this result.".
