Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- During November, Yandex Go will hold a campaign to help charitable organizations in Uzbekistan. Any user of the application can participate.

You can contribute to a good cause without changing your habits. It is enough to travel on Fridays. The promotion applies to trips in all Yandex Go tariffs and in all cities where the service operates.

The more trips, the greater the contribution - you can order trips for yourself and your loved ones. On Fridays, for every 10 km of travel, the service will at its own expense accrue 50 soums to charitable organizations in Uzbekistan.

The total amount will go to help the program partners: Sharoit Plus, Kapalak Bolalar, Ezgu Amal, ONA.

The promotion will be valid for the entire month. Its results will be summed up on 28 November, on “Giving Tuesday”. On this day, people in all countries of the world tell how and to whom they help, and non-profit organizations and businesses unite to hold charitable events.

“Since October 2022, Yandex Go has been working closely with our organization and providing us with travel promotional codes for our employees and users of our social services. Such transport support contributed to the effective organization of our activities to promote social inclusion of people with disabilities in education, labor and empowerment. Actions such as “Generous November” have an important role in raising awareness in our society about the inclusion of people with disabilities and help us continue to implement social projects to create a barrier-free and inclusive society for everyone in Uzbekistan,” said

Muhabbat Rakhimova, Chairman of the Public Association of Disabled Persons in Tashkent “Sharoit Plus”:

“Our foundation helps children diagnosed with epidermolysis bullosa and ichthyosis in Uzbekistan. Participation in the “Giving November” campaign is an opportunity to tell more people about our activities and receive additional funds to help those who need it most. We are grateful to Yandex Go for the opportunity to become part of this wonderful initiative, which allows each person to contribute to creating a favorable environment for children with epidermolysis bullosa and their families,” shared Madamin Haldarbekov, a dermatologist and representative of the non-profit organization KAPALAK-BOLALAR.
