Help to flooded areas in BiH, May 2014

Humanitarian project "Help to flooded areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina", May 2014

 

In May 2014, the Republic of Serbia (hereafter Serbia) and Bosnia and Herzegovina were affected by catastrophic floods, which are estimated to be the worst in the last 120 years. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, heavy rains caused extensive flooding in the northern, eastern and central parts of the territory bordering the Republic of Croatia and Serbia. Urban, industrial and rural areas were completely flooded in some places, many parts were cut off from the world and without electricity or communications due to the destroyed infrastructure.

 

In addition to a large number of residential houses, commercial buildings and public infrastructure were also completely or partially destroyed.

 

In May 2014, Institute Circle, together with other non-governmental organizations, became involved in providing first aid to residents of flooded areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When the situation slowly began to stabilize, Institute Circle together with Association Sezam sent a truckload of school equipment and inventory to Maglaj Primary School in July 2014.

 

In November 2014, Institute Circle, with the help of donations from Slovenian primary and secondary schools, sent another truckload of school inventory and equipment to 11 primary and secondary schools and a kindergarten in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
