The village of Donja Orahovica was one of the places that was heavily damaged by the flooding. The heavy rainfall caused the flood of hundreds of buildings, and hail severely damaged the roofs of all houses and the elementary school building. In the absence of organized help, residents of Donja Orahovica have undertaken the repairs to their homes by themselves. However, most households do not have the financial resources for the reparation of their destroyed and damaged properties. IFS-Emmaus used the donated funds to purchase and distribute building materials to the population in this area. 46.000 pieces of tiles were provided for repairing the roofs of damaged facilities, as it is crucial that all households are provided with safe shelter.
