“I remember the first time I went with the guys from TEDIS Ukraine to de-occupied Ivankov. Bus was loaded from the heart – as much as possible, because they understood that help is needed more than ever. And the road then was through fields and forests, literally. The car is heavy, the road is heavy, and of course we loaded in the sand. They pushed, shoved everything in unison, dug, but in vain, until our soldiers saw and helped.
They took out our heroes in 2 minutes, and then I realized that we will definitely win this war! After all, this situation once again showed how cool we all Ukrainians are and are ready to help each other no matter what. Our strength is in unity!”, – share memories of the first experience of cooperation with the Coordination Center “We help. We are winning” Maria Svyridenko-Novak, manager of work with partners of the charity fund “Let’s help”
Coordination center for free delivery of humanitarian aid “We help. We are winning” one of the largest national FMCG distributors “TEDIS Ukraine” was created at the end of March. At that time, the issue of fast logistics was perhaps the most urgent for the entire country, and the company had its own fleet of experienced drivers and an extensive network of regional offices. This competitive advantage was decided to help the country in difficult times.
To make it convenient for those who need a reliable logistics partner during the war to order transport services, a separate website has been created. help.tedis.ua. On it, every visitor could find out how the Coordination Center, which transports humanitarian aid goods, can help, who can apply to see how the entire process of ordering from delivery is structured, as well as the coordinators’ contacts.
“During the month of work, we saw that the logistical capabilities of “TEDIS Ukraine” within the framework of the Coordination Center helped quite quickly, that in the current conditions it was very difficult to provide humanitarian aid to those who need it most. The company took over all transport costs for the transportation of goods,” the CEO emphasizes “TEDIS Ukraine” Taras Korniyachenko.
The first historic delivery was ordered already on the third day of the Coordination Center’s work: from the Dnipro to Obuhiv. (Kyiv Region) it was necessary to transport one and a half tons of flour for a bakery that baked social bread for the military and socially vulnerable sections of the population.
In less than half a month, the first 20 deliveries were made. Thanks to the Ukrainian Charity Exchange, the Let’s Help charity fund, which will help the elderly, turned to the Coordination Center. Subsequently, he became the largest customer of free transportation. The Foundation provides food, drinking water and hygiene products, which are on cars “TEDIS Ukraine” are provided to territorial social service centers in Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, as well as to the city of Zaporizhia. In addition, “TEDIS Ukraine” provided the Fund with free use of a part of the warehouse in the Kyiv structural subdivision — and this is another component of mutual assistance.
In May, a charitable foundation approached the company “Caritas of Ukraine”. According to his order, food, clothing and mattresses for the needs of internally displaced persons and people from vulnerable categories will be delivered from Lviv to the cities of Drohobych, Busk, Zhovkva and Chervonograd. And in July, the Coordination Center for the supply of food products from Novovolynsk (Volyn region) to Zaporozhye for “Caritas Mariupol”, as well as from Kolomyia (Ivano-Frankivsk region) to Chortky (Ternopil region). “Caritas Lviv” expresses its sincere gratitude to the logistics company “TEDIS Ukraine” for the assistance in transportation. during the week, company employees, together with representatives of the charity fund, were engaged in the movement of humanitarian goods in connection with the move to a new warehouse,” the philanthropists noted.
Also, in July, they started cooperating with a new customer of logistics services — a charitable foundation “Your support.” By order of the foundation, humanitarian aid was provided free of charge to a number of medical and social institutions of Ukraine. also, household chemicals were transported from Kyiv to Lviv to a shelter for displaced persons. Also from Uzhgorod to the hospital in the city of Voznesensk (Mykolaiv Region) medicines and medical products were delivered. Later, from Kyiv to the urban-type village of Bryukhovychy (Lviv Region) household chemicals were delivered to the Multidisciplinary Educational and Rehabilitation Center of St. Nicholas. Similar humanitarian aid was sent from the capital to Kharkiv to the address of the Chesny Hub public organization.
In total, in almost six months of operation, the Coordination Center will make almost 100 free deliveries for charitable foundations and volunteers throughout the country.
“In a difficult time for the country, we see how society, business, philanthropists and volunteers united in a single force. Everyone works at the expense of one thing – the fastest victory over the enemy. Our initiative to create a Coordination Center was successfully implemented due to the enthusiasm and professionalism of the team. We continue to work and help the country to endure and win this war. Everything will be Ukraine!”, the general director is confident “TEDIS Ukraine”.
