“Solidary Albania”, business, organizations and individuals donate for floods
Business owner and religious leaders gathered in a meeting with Prime Minister Rama to coordinate their contributions.
Rama said that this commitment of the business community, is a solidarity is a special value that he appreciates maximally. Rama declared that now starts the second phase of this situation, that of curing wounds. According to him, there will be also international support.
“We will start distributing the donations today. The government will make a detailed report of the damage and needs. We will address with responsibility all the legal obligations, and will address with full responsibility, based on the legal obligations and on a huge moral obligation. WE have started a solidarity mechanism with the EU, for discussing a necessary fund of donations, together with the European Commission. It will be a direct donation from the EU member countries, based on the solidarity mechanism in natural disasters”, Rama declared.
The Minister of Social Welfare, Erjon Veliaj, gave details about how this action will support what he called “Solidary Albania”.
“We have a network that will be coordinated by the Social Service. We will coordinate with the business and religious communities. The Social Service Directory in Tirana, Fier and Vlore will serve as a collection point. We know how to fall together as a nation, but we also know how to rise together. This is the day to rise. WE couldn’t have thought a better solidarity than this. We have tried through the political and public discussion opportunities. I want to remind everyone that three years ago we used to hear speeches of how Jupiter and the Moon planned plots against Albanians and caused floods. Or even stranger things, with people saying that one cubic meter of water produced three cubic meters of water. None of us called Novosela or Darzeza the Venice of Albania”, Veliaj declared.
Luan Bregasi, head of Business Albania, declared that there is good will from all businesses to help every house that has been affected by floods.
“We will not just donate and go home. We will follow everything with high responsibility. I am receiving plenty of messages. Businesses don’t have competition only to profit, but also to donate”, Bregasi declared.
“The first caravan with social donations has entered Albania this Saturday. There are 300 tons of various goods with a 200.000 EUR price”, declared Agim Shahini from the Chamber of Commerce in Kosovo.
The human solidarity has also come from organizations, people and government entities.
The agency for Supporting Civilian Society is collecting donations by activating a series of organizations. There have also been personal initiatives, such as the case of some young people in Kruje, who have received donations from several citizens after appealing to them on te street.
