Ciklum announces partnership with Tabletochki Charitable Foundation
To support Ukraine in its fight against coronavirus Ciklum is joining forces with Tabletochki Charitable Foundation. The primary goal of the partnership is to protect the most vulnerable groups from COVID-19: children with cancer, for whom coronavirus poses a huge risk, and health workers, who endanger their lives daily to treat those with the virus and to try to stop the pandemic.
Ciklum has donated 2.5 million UAH (90k USD) to the initiative, of which 1 million UAH is allocated to provide medical personnel with safe transportation to and from hospitals. Ciklum’s donation will be spent with the ‘Doctors to Work’ program. This program was launched by Uber and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, and Vinnytsia, and supported by Tabletochki. It is hoped that medical professionals will have approximately 5000 free rides to work through Doctors to Work program thanks to Ciklum.
The other 1.5 million UAH will be spent on personal protective equipment, medical supplies, and medicine for children with cancer.
Today, when we stay at home with the whole world to protect ourselves, little superheroes in children’s hospitals continue their fight with cancer, and now they are even more at risk! Cancer did not quarantine! Children with cancer, as well as doctors across Ukraine, continue to struggle in the face of a critical threat to their lives, as well as a lack of antiseptics and personal protective equipment. I am very grateful to Ciklum and every Ciklumer who stood up to protect them. You are incredible! Parents of hundreds of children and thousands of doctors are grateful to you for your great help and a chance for a healthy future.-Svitlana Pugach, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Tabletochki Charitable Foundation
