The year 2024 has undoubtedly had many highlights for the RankiaPro Europe team; however, we have also experienced a tragedy that has shaken us all: on October 29th, a huge storm unloaded thousands of litres of water in the interior of the province of Valencia (Spain), where we are based. The water overflowed several rivers and flooded 78 towns very close to the city, taking the lives of 227 people and leaving thousands of our neighbours homeless and without basic services such as electricity or water.
From the very first moment Rankia, our parent company, helped those affected by the floods by sending truckloads of basic necessities. Of course RankiaPro has participated in this initiative, and this December we have also collaborated by donating toys for the children in the most affected areas, some of whom have not yet been able to return home or to school, in the hope that they can spend the happy Christmas they deserve.
