Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- For more than three years, the Ezgu Amal Charitable Foundation has been helping families who are faced with serious illnesses receive timely treatment. Since the fall of 2020, Yandex Go has also helped the Foundation’s wards to move around the city. Thanks to free rides from the service, patients continue to see doctors regularly and undergo check-ups without risking their weakened immune system on crowded public transport. And the fund can redistribute the collected funds in favor of medical treatment.
“Over the three and a half years of the Foundation’s operation, we have already helped 400 seriously ill patients. Of course, almost every one of them needs help in moving around the city: trips for examinations or hospitalizations - and all this requires money. Free trips provided by Yandex Go helped us save some of the funds raised and use them for timely medical care for our wards. We are grateful to the service for long-term cooperation,” says Munira Khodjakhanova, co-founder and chairman of the board of the Ezgu Amal Foundation.
Equally important was the help to volunteers and employees of the foundation, who can order a trip for free in the application in order to quickly deliver medicines and food to those in need. A volunteer of the Amir Foundation told about her experience:
“I found out about the fund when my seven-year-old son got leukemia. Now he is in remission. Recently, I decided to become a volunteer of the foundation to help those who are just going through this difficult period. I very often visit patients - I bring them medicines, food and gifts. I also use Yandex Go free trips for this. I always tell the wards of the foundation about my son, about how he recovered and how we worried about him. I always try to cheer up the wards and give them hope for recovery.”
Yandex Go and Ezgu Amal continue cooperation in 2022. The service fully compensates for travel expenses, so drivers receive full payment for trips.
