Yandex Uzbekistan donates 189 million soums to charities following "Generous November" initiative

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) —  On 3 December, Yandex Uzbekistan announced the results of its "Generous November" initiative, aimed at supporting local charitable organizations: Dom Mamy, Teach for Uzbekistan, ONA, and Sharoit Plus.

Throughout November, users of Yandex Go services had the opportunity to contribute to the cause simply by using the platform on Fridays. For every 10 kilometers covered in Taxi or Delivery services, the company donated 50 soums. Additionally, for each food order exceeding 60,000 soums, Yandex added 500 soums to the total contribution.

At the conclusion of the campaign, Yandex Uzbekistan increased the accumulated amount, donating a total of 189 million soums to the participating organizations.

Arminé Ispiryan, Director of the ONA Foundation, emphasized the importance of public awareness: "Thanks to this initiative, we not only received crucial financial support but also raised awareness about the social challenges we aim to address."

Mukhabat Rakhimova, Chairperson of Sharoit Plus, expressed gratitude for the campaign’s inclusivity focus: "Each order brought us closer to creating an inclusive society where people with disabilities have equal opportunities to learn, work, and live fulfilling lives. Thank you for this support."
