The Çokaj sisters lived in a ruined house in Grudë Fushë, Malësia e Madhe. The lack of minimum living conditions directly affected their deteriorating health. The complete economic incapability aggravated their situation and the sisters had not found a way out.
With the initiative of BALFIN Group’s President, Samir Mane, the Çokaj family has now settled in an apartment in the city of Shkodra. The renovated house is located near the city hospital, so that the ladies can easily get the medical service that their condition requires.
The donation was made possible by Tirana Bank, part of BALFIN Group. The CEO of Tirana Bank, Dritan Mustafa, handed over the house with the wish to enjoy it in good health. “Our bank is the first private bank in the country, and throughout all this time, we have found support from every client. Today, we support the Çokaj family, as an example of our commitment to improve the lives of groups in need. Together, we are all stronger,” he said.
Poverty alleviation is one of the four main pillars of BALFIN Group’s social programs, whose focus is on promoting the highest social values and caring for the disadvantaged. With the belief that business growth should be accompanied by a parallel community development, BALFIN Group companies will continue to advance the mission of social contribution.
