The humanitarian initiative of the Metinvest Group "Saving Life published an annual report on work in 2023.

According to the report, more than 122,000 Ukrainians received help from "Saving Life" last year. Almost 1.3 million euros were allocated to the implementation of the initiative's projects, of which about 1 million euros are donations from donors.

Among the main areas of activity in 2023 were humanitarian aid, psychological support for women and children, prosthetics, rehabilitation and surgery for military personnel. 

In particular, more than 69,000 people received food kits, and more than 71,000 people received basic necessities.

More than 1,000 people, including 532 children, underwent psychological support programs last year.

Also, 103 people are at various stages of prosthetics, rehabilitation and surgery programs. In particular, 34 veterans and civilians received prostheses worth 10,000 to 30,000 euros. And 30 people injured in the war underwent reconstructive operations on their faces.

"The humanitarian initiative "Saving Lives" arose at the beginning of a full-scale war as a response to the needs of the country, regions and ordinary Ukrainians. Gradually moving from meeting basic needs in food products and medicines, Metinvest expanded its work to other areas of activity. Among them is the psychological rehabilitation of victims. In this way, we strive to help people overcome the terrible consequences of war, because it is incredibly difficult to cope with them alone. It is necessary to maintain mental health in order to have the strength to fight the enemy and rebuild the country after victory," said Tetyana Petruk, Metinvest's director of sustainable development and interaction with personnel.
