As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 8th of May, 2020, INA has made yet another generous donation, following the large donation it gave to various Croatian health institutions a few weeks ago as part of the fight against the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19).
INA has stated that helping out those who are the most in need motives and drives them, and as such, INA has continued its long-term cooperation with SOS Children’s Village Croatia (SOS Dječje selo) in these challenging times we’re facing. The company donated 130,000 kuna for the project “Our first 10 years – Stay at home in SOS Children’s Village Croatia/Naših prvih 10 godina – Ostani doma u SOS Dječjem selu Hrvatska).”
Thanking INA for the generous donation, Mr. Zoran Relic, director of SOS Children’s Village Ladimirevci said: “The month of May in our Children’s Village in Ladimirevci is the happiest month because we’re celebrating a birthday, and none of these birthdays over the last 10 years has passed without our friends from INA. INA’s monetary donation, corporate volunteering to help maintain the infrastructure, Christmas gifts for the children of their own choosing, which INA’s employees lovingly bought them, make growing up safer and happier for our kids. We’d like to thank you for ten years of loyalty and support. We stayed at home, and thanks to INA for staying with us!”
In addition to financial support, children in the care of the SOS Children’s Village Croatia receivedsweets and cotton protective masks sewn by members of the Kamensko association, which has also become a partner of INA during the crisis caused by the pandemic.
INA’s CEO Sándor Fasimon said: ”Even in these difficult times, when we’re facing a pandemic and we’re threatened by an economic crisis, we’re not giving up on fulfilling our responsible role in society. We have always been with those who need help the most and we’re proud that for many years we’ve been able to help children from the SOS Children’s Village Croatia in order to more easily achieve quality conditions for creating a caring home for every child. At the moment, that is needed more than it ever was before,”
Adapting the daily lives of 240 children and young people in the care of SOS Children’s Village Croatia to the situation caused by the coronavirus outbreak requires additional effort and the necessary resources to be made readily available. Hygiene measures for the prevention of the spread of the infection have been increased, and the children receive all the necessary help and support as they need it. All of this will will be easier to organise with the help of INA’s kind donation.
