Social results

The interaction model between stakeholders has been successfully tested.

Strategic partnership enabled us to pool our resources, social strategies and key competencies of partner companies and the Foundation’s donors, local communities, regional NGOs and local authorities to achieve maximum efficiency with our joint projects.

One of our priorities was to achieve a long-term effect by sharing our best practices and expertise with various institutions and providing them with targeted charitable help to institutions.
