Manimama Volunteering Activities
It is vital to remain a kind person and help those who are truly in need, no matter how successful your career is or how high you rank in society. In this way, beyond the complex world of legal life, our firm has a real heart - compassionate and empathetic, because we are all ordinary people who also have feelings and deep pain for our fellow citizens and our land.
Our founders and the entire team prove this statement through their actions. We are currently actively involved in volunteer work through the charity fund "I Support Ukraine".
The History of Our Fund
In 2022 we created the charity fund “I support Ukraine” and started to help Ukraine to win the war, supporting the army, people, Ukrainian scientists and talents.
Our co-founders, CEO Ganna Voevodina and CBDO Vasyl Ponomarov , both Mariupol residents and patriots of Ukraine, organized volunteers to help all the city’s residents from the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They promptly began raising funds from business partners, friends, acquaintances and all people who were not indifferent to their fellow citizens who found themselves in a difficult situation due to the Russian invasion. For a long time, volunteers have been buying and delivering food, water, and medicine to the city, setting up bomb shelters and sheltering people in them. We also helped the families of the military who defended our city with money.
Nowadays, the “I support Ukraine” team is actively engaged in providing humanitarian aid to people who have found themselves in a difficult life situation due to the war. Our volunteers regularly receive and purchase humanitarian aid in the western regions of Ukraine and abroad and deliver it to the frontline cities in the southeast of Ukraine – such as Zaporizhzhya, Dnipro, Kramatorsk, etc. We help disabled people and families with many children – we have set up a targeted delivery of food and hygiene products for these categories of people.?
In addition to helping civilians, our team supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Territorial Defense Forces. We are trying to get the most necessary things for our military: helmets, protective elements, clothing, thermal imagers, quadcopters – all in order to save the lives of our military and help them repel the Russian onslaught.
Charity is an integral part of our corporate culture and social responsibility. Every day we face new challenges posed by war and respond to them with our actions. During this time, we have managed to help thousands of families and we will continue to do so until victory.
Here are some examples of our volunteer activities
In the yard of the regional local history museum, an exciting celebration was organized for the children of the Rivne Center “YaMariupol” on the occasion of International Children’s Day. Games, entertainment, contests, workshops, and guitar lessons created an unforgettable atmosphere for the young patriots. Thanks to the efforts of our NGO “I Support Ukraine” and the support of the Rivne Regional Council, the children were treated with fruits and sweets. The happy smiles and gratitude of the children were a true testament to the importance of such events for our future.
The team of? “I Support Ukraine,” together with the Mariupol municipality, works daily to ensure that Mariupol residents regularly receive high-quality humanitarian kits. At the “YaMariupol” support centers, our fellow citizens receive food packages with the most necessary products. Additionally, in the Rivne center, we issue not only food kits from the Mariupol City Council, but also mini-hygiene kits from the partners of PJSC “RIVNEAZOT”, which include shower gels and toilet paper.
Our charitable fund, in addition to directly volunteering, also actively supports various public initiatives . So we wove nets for our defenders, a job that even the smallest can handle, but which will greatly help the boys in the service.?
We systematically support families from Mariupol with small children . This time, the assistance came in the form of essential items for children under 3 years old— diapers, which have already been delivered upon request. We continue to care for our youngest ones, ensuring they have everything needed for comfortable growth.
Together with our volunteers, we participated in the collection of provisions and hygiene items for Ukrainian soldiers . The guys are happy to have received their shipment. We are proud of our heroes and are waiting for victory!
We help the people of Mariupol on an ongoing basis. Recently, with the support of our NGO, was provided financial assistance to Lyudmila Semizhon from Mariupol , who is undergoing expensive eye treatment.
Additionally, financial assistance was provided to Maksym Malokutsky , a resident of Mariupol. His 9-year-old son Damir has cancer and is currently undergoing expensive treatment.?
We were awarded the sign “For cooperation” for their fruitful work, significant contribution and dedication to the defense of Ukraine’s statehood.
Our team is a small but very important link in the victory of our country.
