Assistance during Harsh Winter
In light of the harsh 2016/2017 winter, TAP assisted approximately 1,300 families from 100 villages along the pipeline route and beyond. The initiative was implemented in collaboration with the Red Cross in Albania as well as the local authorities.
€90,000
The initiative aimed to support those most in need following heavy snow falls. For each family, TAP donated emergency packages with five blankets and essential food. In total, approximately 6,000 persons received help in the Municipalities of Fier, Roskovec, Lushnje, Berat, Ura Vajgurore, Çorovoda, Poliçan, Korça, Devoll, and Maliq.
Engjëllushe Barolli, one of the residents in Bilisht said: “Winter is always harder on poor families in remote villages. We are grateful to TAP for thinking of us in this very difficult situation.”
TAP started working with the Albania Red Cross in 2015, when the two organisations joined forces for supporting families affected by floods in the Berat region.
