Over the past two months, the war in Ukraine has resulted in a massive humanitarian crisis. Children and women have been disproportionately affected, families have been separated, and refugees have been pouring into several countries in the EU and beyond.
Since the initial days of the war, Tata Consultancy Services employees in the EU region have stepped up to support local needs in a truly remarkable manner. TCS has mounted a comprehensive response, across the dimensions of rescue, relief & resilience efforts. To address urgent & immediate needs, TCS extended immediate support through financial contributions of?1 million Euros to several independent, international humanitarian organizations, including UNICEF and the European Food Banks Federation (FEBA).
The impact of these contributions are life saving and critical. For example, funding helps UNICEF set up ‘Blue Dot Centers’ which act as a triage point for refugee children and mothers, bringing various UN agencies and partners together for a coordinated response across immediate and future needs.
FEBA is monitoring the ever-changing food security needs and working to get supplies in the hands of those with the highest need, whether in Moldova, Poland, Hungary, or other places.

While financial support will provide some relief in the short-term, we have always taken a long-term perspective when considering social impact. This?contribution is just the first step and we are working towards making use of our core strengths including employee engagement and volunteering, resource mobilization, program partnerships, pro-bono services, and more to support current & emergent needs.

2 年This is great! Another aspect to look at is the mental trauma these people are going through. Can we possibly do anything on that front?
