It has been more than a month since the beginning of this unprecedented situation of violence, which violates both human rights and international law by Russia to Ukraine.
Faced with this situation, we at Tauruspack could not stand by with arms crossed. Therefore, we have decided for the time to pause our contribution of 5% of our quarterly net profits to Gold Standard certified causes to support the Ukrainian nation on a monthly basis.
This action will be executed through Caritas, who for many years has supported various social action and emergency projects in that country.
In these difficult times, the mission of this organization is to satisfy the basic needs of vulnerable people in their displacement through an emergency project in which they are offered shelter, safe transportation for people seeking to reunite with relatives in other areas of the country, hot meals, hygiene kits and psychological/emotional support among other aspects.
Also, "child-friendly spaces" are being organized at Caritas Ukraine for children to participate in sports and recreational activities as a means to help them deal with the psychological stress caused by the situation they are experiencing.
Caritas in Romania, Poland and Moldova have also been instrumental in the immediate humanitarian response. They have been able to mobilize quickly to respond effectively, in coordination and complementarity with other local and international agencies, activating national reception plans for Ukrainian refugees who have crossed the borders to safety.
From our place, we stand in solidarity and support for the Ukrainian nation, joining national and international voices. We call for and defend Peace, as well as strongly condemn the armed aggression.
Through our contribution to Caritas, we believe we can make a difference and we encourage you also to contribute with help to Ukraine. Today more than ever we believe that unity is strength and that together we can alleviate the situation of those who are in need.
