“When we talk about one of the greatest achievements of the Tuzla Community Foundation in the past year, what we are proud of is that with the beginning of the pandemic, we launched the campaign “With Solidarity Against Covid-19” where we collected about 100,000 BAM. The funds were directed primarily to support health workers, socially vulnerable categories. We equipped the emergency service of the Health Center Tuzla with protective medical suits. Later, we provided support to women who lost their jobs during the pandemic by paying for utilities, food, clothing for children and other necessities. We have provided support to students in primary and secondary schools where over 10,000 protective masks and products for disinfection have been provided. In addition to the regular activities, we performed in the Foundation, we can be proud of the quick reaction of the citizens of Tuzla and Tuzla Canton.”
