AID FOR UKRAINIAN ORPHANS

“The unimaginable happened in the early morning of February 24, 2022: Russia attacked Ukraine.” These were the opening words of GETEC’s in-house appeal for donations. The company committed to matching every euro donated by employees. Our employees’ generosity exceeded all expectations, raising €250,000 – a quarter of a million – for the Ridni Foundation. This organization already ran orphanages and social centers during peacetime. Following the outbreak of the war, it has been necessary to arrange the relocation of children and their caregivers who were living close to the front line. On the one hand, the money donated will benefit Ridni’s fostering program. It will also facilitate the completion of the Center for Social Support for Children and Families and the Spilnota Center for 16 orphans. Mariana Romaniak, CEO of the Ridni Foundation: “We are very grateful to GETEC for their support for the orphans. The only way we can help children who have suffered the effects of war is to collaborate with people who have an open heart for the problems of others. Thanks to GETEC’s generous donation, around 70 orphans and children in difficult circumstances will be able to live in new high-quality conditions and provided with everything they need for their healthy development and psychological well-being.” The request for donations was not just a short-term campaign. GETEC will continue to support the Ridni Foundation.
