Assistance to flooded farmers

With the beginning of spring Caritas started implementing the program of assistance to farmers, whose households have been damaged in the last years floods and who couldn’t renew their production since then. This program has been implemented in the following municipalities: Sabac, Krupanj, Lajkovac, Valjevo and Obrenovac. During the past months 1500 households received packages with 24 types of seeds in each one of them (cabbage, tomatoes, radishes, peppers), as a donation of Caritas Austria.
