The Ukrainian Red Cross Society and Promprylad.Renovation have become partners

The Ukrainian Red Cross Society and Promprylad.Renovation have signed a memorandum of cooperation. According to the memorandum, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society will open the Center for Public Health and Climate Change Monitoring in the Carpathian Region on the premises of Promprylad.Renovation.

Environmental crises, frequent and large-scale natural disasters, their impact on public health are some of the key problems of today. These problems affect everyone, and therefore, we can we avoid dangers to ourselves and our planet only by working together. Since 2007, adaptation to climate change has been one of the areas of operation for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

‘It is important for us that the country’s population pays attention to climate issues, because change begins with ourselves. Our activities in the environmental field began with the support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. We are now happy to meet partners on our path who share our values and are ready to overcome large-scale social problems with us,’ said Maksym Dotsenko, executive director of the National Committee of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.

With support from Promprylad.Renovation, the following objects will be launched on the Center’s premises: First Aid School of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, first aid room, massage room, conference room, and shop of the Society. All funds received from the Center’s activities will be redirected directly to the development of the Center for Public Health and Climate Change Monitoring.

Aside from that, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society will become one of the investors of the Promprylad.Renovation project. Later, the organization plans to invest the funds received in the form of dividends from the investment in the development of the Center for Public Health and Climate Change Monitoring. 

‘The Ukrainian Red Cross Society and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are unique. This cooperation is very valuable to us. We are inspired by the fact that cooperation with us stimulated the organization to search for new models of development, in particular, the creation of a social enterprise with high added value for society and the search for a sustainable form of operation. This is unique not only for Ukraine. We hope that this project will become a global example to follow,’ says Yuriy Fylyuk, the CEO of Promprylad.Renovation.
