The IT Ukraine Association and the NGO Techiia Foundation (part of the international holding TECHIIA) signed a memorandum of cooperation. The organizations united to overcome the humanitarian and economic consequences of the war waged by the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
The value of each of the partners is the freedom and territorial integrity of Ukraine, the right to life, security, and human development. Therefore, the parties individually make every effort to provide assistance to all those in need in extremely difficult situations.
Together, the organizations plan to help Ukrainian citizens and certain sectors of the economy affected by the war. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion in Ukraine, the Techia Foundation has donated $7.5 million (UAH 217 million) for humanitarian aid purposes. In cooperation with the IT Ukraine Association, it will be possible to raise even more funds and meet the needs of Ukraine's defenders and victims of war.
The ability to unite and work together effectively is what helps Ukrainians become stronger and overcome any crisis.
