Zagreb Earthquake Relief

On March 22 at 6:24AM, the capital of Croatia, Zagreb was struck by an earthquake, affecting not only those who were physically there. That’s the reason five of us friends who were born and raised in Zagreb, but currently live and work in Amsterdam, started the Zagreb Earthquake Relief initiative. 

Almost €173k were raised through the campaign, an equivalent of HRK1.3m. Half of the donations are used to buy equipment necessary for a neonatal hospital that was damaged by the earthquake. With the other half, we have launched a relief initiative together with the Foundation SOLIDARNA: Fond 5.5, 5.5 referring to the magnitude of the earthquake. The intention is to financially support the most vulnerable citizens who are in dire need of help at the moment.

The roles within the initiative are shared between the five co-founders, ranging from tasks such as coordinating and maintaining business partnerships, managing PR activities to further raising the funds. 

I'm also a part of the expert committee that will be analyzing the submitted financial proposals of the most socially endangered citizens and deciding on the final allocation of the funds together.
