Thanks to the persistence of Mr. Danijel Koletić from Apriori World, this donation we have been working on for the past six months has come to fruition. “The ‘Soaps with Dots’ project is a logical sequence for TIKA, which has invested 1.1 million euros in 27 projects in the past three years, realized in Croatia, emphasizes Koç.
These funds will enable the Association of Blind Persons Zagreb to purchase the necessary tools and machines for the implementation of the second phase of the Social Entrepreneurship Project that the Association prepares for the production of liquid soaps. ” We want to thank TIKA.
