Ukraine emergency fund: 65,700 euros donated!

In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of the Ukraine that turned the lives of millions of people upside down. The setec Foundation set up an Emergency Fund for Ukraine for employees who wished to contribute to the international effort by providing financial support.

The Fund raised over 62,000 euros thanks to the generosity of employees and Group subsidiaries.

The Executive Committee of the setec Foundation decided to support the following actions:

  • 30,000 euros were donated to the Fondation de France’s “Solidarité Ukraine” fund, which operates in Ukraine and neighboring countries (Romania, Poland, Moldavia). This fund provides support to associations working to protect the rights of displaced persons and offer them psychological follow-up.
  • 10,000 euros were donated to the Ukrainian association Blood Agents for the purchase of first-aid kits to support people in conflict zones.
  • 15,000 euros were donated to the Franco-Ukrainian association Balzac-Hanska for the purchase of an ambulance for the hospital services of the town of Berditchev in Ukraine.
  • 10,700 euros were donated to the Ardéchois association Un Toit pour l’Ukraine to organize 10 humanitarian convoys to help Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border.

The setec Foundation rounded out the total amount raised, providing financial support of 65,700 euros.

The setec Foundation would like to thank all the employees who took part in this fundraising campaign and suggested initiatives to support, as well as the subsidiaries setec consultants, setec opency, setec organisation and setec Diadès for their donations.

Antoine Chaudagne talks about his experience working with Un Toit pour l’Ukraine:

“Un Toit pour l’Ukraine is an association that was set up at the start of the war in Ukraine, and immediately became involved in eastern Poland to help refugees reach France. The setec Foundation enabled us to organize convoys of volunteers to help the Przemysl refugee center, which sees a flow of 1,500 people a day (mainly women and children). Our help mainly consisted of translating into Russian and accompanying families through the administrative maze of their exodus, organizing convoys to France, but also more simply unloading emergency aid trucks, keeping the gigantic refugee center clean and tidy (as much as possible).”
