Project »Wood for heating«

Bosnia & Herzegovina

While bringing Christmas parcels to Bosnia and Herzegovina, we have met many families who cannot afford heating material. They spend the cold season in unheated, sometimes dilapidated houses. Health restrictions, unemployment and old age make wood a luxury good. The inadequate welfare state network is unable to provide support for those affected. Our local partner has therefore asked us to support some particularly needy families with heating material. The wood is procured, dried, and prepared in summer and provides warmth in the cold winter months.

»I am very grateful for your help. Together with my sick husband and our three children, I live in a one-room apartment at the subsistence level. I receive no support from the state. I can hardly express how much the wood is a relief for me. May God reward you abundantly for it. Thank you again.«
