Metinvest retired workers receive assistance from Saving Lives project
Over 30,000 pensioners of Metinvest companies will received food packages as part of the Saving Lives humanitarian initiative implemented by Metinvest Group and DTEK in concert with the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.
Launched four months ago, the Saving Lives project has helped 100,000 Ukrainians over this time. Food and sanitary items are first provided to IDPs, residents of liberated areas, vulnerable people, families of conscripted employees of Metinvest companies, and employees who are welfare beneficiaries.
Saving Lives continues to expand its geography and scale of assistance due to the funding of SCM businesses and support of strategic partners, as well as assistance from ordinary employees. Thus, retired Metinvest employees will be able to receive assistance as part of the Saving Lives initiative as well. These are over 30,000 pensioners from Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhia, Kamianka, and Pokrovsk. They have given many years of their life to the company, helped raise more than one generation of specialists, and at these difficult times they need our support.
FACTS AND FIGURES
The number of food packages to be provided to Metinvest retired workers: 15,700 in Kryvyi Rih, 6,300 in Zaporizhia, 5,000 in Kamianka, and 3,000 in Pokrovsk.
The food packages include flour, pasta, cereals, oats, sugar, condensed milk, canned meat and fish. With this support, retired people will be able to save money and time as they struggle to find basic necessities since there has been a disruption in food deliveries because of logistics problems in the front-line area.
The initiative also sends medicines and medical equipment to Ukraine, alongside food packages and essentials. As part of the drive, medical facilities in Zaporizhia and Kamianske have received medicines and consumables worth €238,000. Metinvest Rehabilitation and Reintegration Centres have received 1,500 packets of vitamins for IDPs.
