Emergency Medicine
Tag established a partnership with Magen David Adom and the Ukraine Red Cross, through which we delivered a series of first aid training workshops in Kiev for Red Cross professionals and assisted with equipment and refurbishments for a training center at the Red Cross headquarters. Tag and MDA also donated a fully-equipped intensive care ambulance to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Clinic in Uman
Tag established and equipped a small clinic and provided a first aid training program to build local capacity and serve the medical emergency needs. The renovation transformed the clinic from floor to ceiling, including plumbing and electricity, and office and medical equipment was provided, ranging from chairs and desks to gauze and syringes. Tag also contributed to the salary of a local doctor for the clinic’s initial phase of operation. A 14-strong team of MDA paramedics visited Uman for a ten-day period to provide medical support and training
Leiman Youth Fund
The main focus on the youth fund is on Ukraine. We support schools Zhytomyr, Odessa, Mykolaiv, and Vinitsiya to enable young people to gain access to a good secondary education. Hundreds of young people and multiple schools have so far benefited. We also support Big Brother, Big Sister youth development in Dnipro. The Leiman Fund has also supported a range of other youth-related initiatives, such as summer and winter camps, as well as annual gifts for hundreds of children.
War-related Assistance
Since the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Tag scaled up its involvement in Ukraine, in light on the persistent humanitarian crisis affecting the country. We are focused primarily of five cities: Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Vinnytsia, Odessa, and Dnipro.
Tag assisted its partners in various cities across Ukraine in a multitude of ways, from food parcels to psychosocial support, from special events for internally displaced people to the installation of air conditioning in bomb shelters. We assisted in a variety of infrastructure works, from conversion of basements into bomb shelters for schools and community centers, to repairing windows and roofs damaged by the bombs.
A key focus for Tag is the provision of therapists and social workers to help people deal with the trauma, and we supported a range of summer and winter children’s and adult programs. We supported the regular distribution of food parcels, as well as provision of hot food to the neediest. We also respond to specific requests for assistance, such as help providing security to premises in light of worsening security conditions.
