Skopje, North Macedonia, April 8, 2025

We are deeply affected by the tragic event that has struck the city of Kochani. In this time of unimaginable loss and pain, our thoughts are with every family mourning a loved one and with all those impacted by this devastating incident. Through a donation of 1.2 million MKD, the LEORON Foundation expresses not only its heartfelt support and solidarity but also its commitment- as part of the wider community - to stand beside those in need.

This contribution, made by LEORON Institute through its charitable arm - the LEORON Foundation - is being facilitated by Paket.mk and Support Kocani, whose collaboration ensures that the aid reaches affected families quickly, efficiently, and with dignity.

Val Jusufi, Co-founder and Chairwoman of LEORON Institute and Chairwoman of the LEORON Foundation, expressed heartfelt condolences:

“We are deeply heartbroken by the tragedy that has affected so many lives in Kochani. No community should have to endure such loss. Our donation is a gesture of compassion and solidarity, meant to support the survivors and help families begin the long journey of healing.”

Arben Jusufi, Co-founder and CEO of LEORON Institute, added:

“Kochani is part of our extended community, and we believe in showing up for people in their darkest hours. This contribution is a call to action for compassion, and a reminder that humanity and solidarity must guide us forward.”

The donation will be distributed through a tailored voucher system, facilitated by Paket.mk, allowing affected families to receive essential supplies delivered directly to their homes in Kochani and surrounding areas. Support Kochani will coordinate outreach and ensure transparent communication with the recipients throughout the process.

"At Paket.mk, we always strive to offer support where it’s needed most – by providing easier access to essential products and additional help that can truly make a difference for families during difficult times," said Dragan Josifovski, co-founder and CEO of Paket.mk.

This is not just a donation – it’s a gesture of sincere solidarity. A reminder that even in moments like these, we must stand by one another – as people, as a community.
