May results

Dear Friends,
May was a very eventful month for Sigma Software Unity Fund. We`d like to share with you the main results and thank you for your continuous support.
In May we transferred 1,173,916 UAH to the Army needs, including:

  • Remote control and other accessories for drones for Kraken for 150,901 UAH.
  • Drones control station for Kraken for 129,350.
  • Purchasing electronics by request of the 7042 unit, serving on the Donetsk direction for 437,855 UAH.
  • Purchasing two drones for the total sum of 387,734.76 UAH (9,000 Euro).
  • Purchasing personal equipment and means of personal protection for our colleagues, who joined the Armed Forces for 68,075 UAH.
  • Purchasing construction materials for one of the units in the Kyiv region for 20,000 UAH.

Sigma Software Unity Fund, although focusing on Army support, is eager to support other socially significant projects.

Thus, in May we transferred 396,000 UAH for further promotion of the truth about the war through the demonstration of the “Bucha” documentary. Previously, we partnered with the documentary team during its screening in Kharkiv. This time the movie gathered Ukrainian and international networking in Lisbon.
The fund and Sigma Software supported the contest for creative and talented kids in the Carpathian region gathering over 400 participants from all over Ukraine. We provided 85 thousand UAH to purchase tablet PCs for the winners to make their educational process more flexible and efficient. We always seek to help the talented youth and inspire them to choose tech specialties. This is especially important during such turbulent times. We believe these smart and bright young people will soon make their contribution to the country’s renovation and prosperity.

We also organized several events to promote Ukraine and gather donations for the Army and Ukrainians.
On May 14, our Lviv office hosted a charity stand-up night, raising 64,200 UAH with tickets, auctions, and donations! More than 40 people visited the event. All the funds will be used to buy essential equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, particularly for the strike drone company of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade.

On May 24, the opening of our “United by Victories” exhibition took place at the Space Meduza art bar in Berlin. More than 100 people, including our colleagues, journalists, friends, representatives of Ukrainian IT in Germany, and guests from the USA, Turkey, Canada, and other countries came to see the artists’ works and find out how the project was created.

During the event, guests were interested in how they could support the Ukrainian Army. We organized the sale of merch, the proceeds of which will be forwarded to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The exhibition will continue for two more months at the Space Meduza art bar (Skalitzer Str. 80).

March results

Dear Friends,

In March we continued helping the Army and did our best to close the direct equipment requests received from the Armed Forces. Find detailed information on the completed and ongoing projects in our regular report.

Transferred 26 Laptops for the National Guard

In 2024, the Ground troops together with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, began implementing SAP logistics management systems in each brigade. Such systems allow for checking the units` needs quickly and without unnecessary paperwork, seeing the status of the application, and preventing corruption risks.

Currently, SAP is used only for the supply of spare parts and clothing provision. However, it is planned to add more new supply categories in the future.

This system is widely used by partner countries of Ukraine, which allows to unify the logistics system with allies and to carry out complex logistics operations without unnecessary trouble.

For the needs of this large-scale project, Sigma Sofware and Sigma Software Unity Fund, with the support of our Swedish partners, handed over 26 powerful laptops to the National Guard for a total sum of UAH 109,364.

Continue cooperation with the Spine Center in Kharkiv

Last month we started cooperation with Kharkiv Rehabilitation Spine Center, and are glad to share the results. During March 79 people received medical help within the transferred sum including 14 doctor’s consultations, 25 osteopath appointments, 19 rehabilitation sessions, and 21 physio procedures.

United by Victories in Kharkiv

On March 30, Sigma Software and our Unity Fund joined the film screening in Kharkiv. The event took place in a bomb shelter of the National Theater of Opera and Ballet and welcomed a wide audience including IT specialists, representatives of educational institutions, journalists, and volunteers.

The film named “Bucha” tells the story of a volunteer, who saved hundreds of people in 2022.

Sigma Software supported the screening as an information partner and launched an exposition of “United by Victories” mural copies to attract more attention. Serhii Evdokimov, the Head of the Sigma Software Unity Fund, visited the event and told the participants about our activities and ongoing projects.

We managed to get several donations, and all of them will be directed to the Army help.

Thank you for your support and trust. Let`s help together!

Helped Kharkiv University to equip computer class

Recently Sigma Software Unity Fund donated 150 pieces of computer equipment, including Computer Software.

A few months ago, one of the Kharkiv universities turned to us with a request to help their faculty equip a computer class. In August we handed over the prepared computer kits and we hope that now the students will continue their studies with even greater enthusiasm.

We are sure that in such times it is very important to unite for a common goal and support Ukrainian educational institutions like never before.

Sigma Software and Sigma Software Unity Fund support the initiative “Bring Ukrainian children home”

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2014, hundreds of thousands of children have been deported to russia. The number is not known, as many children are deported from occupied regions. Ukraine believes that at least 150 000 are deported, while russia mentions at least 700 000. Their names and locations are not known and hence cannot be claimed back. Our aim is to use technology to locate them and deliver information to the government of Ukraine and NGOs so they can be claimed back. And their kidnapping will be recorded as a war crime.

Sigma Software and Sigma Software Unity Fund, founded by the company, joined the initiative of NGO Heroiam Slava to search missing and deported Ukrainian children to russia.

It was founded by Jaanika Merilo, Ukrainian-Estonian reformer, IT innovator, and philanthropist and an advisor to Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhaylo Fedorov. With the joint effort of the Commissioner for Human Rights, NGO Save Ukraine, and OSINT organizations, this initiative has already managed to locate 156 children and to return 11 of them home.

Sigma Software has been systematically supporting the Ukrainian army, volunteers, and civic initiatives since the first days of the war through own Sigma Software Unity Fund. Also, together with IDF School, Zacco, Nexer and other partners Sigma Software launched the Star for Life Ukraine project. It helps children in difficult life circumstances to learn basics of programming and gain psychological support.

The company could not stay away from the tragedy of the deported children.

Sigma Software contributed €5K to support the initiative. With these funds, the team can search for about 150 children and locate approximately 75 of them so that they could be brought back home.

Jaanika Merilo, co-founder of NGO Heroiam Slava:

“Ukraine has always been in my heart, with my father being from Kamianets-Podilskyi. My childhood summers passed in Ukraine as well as many of my adult years, trying to help with digital reforms in the Government of Ukraine as well as the cities of Lviv and Dnipro.

It has been just heartbreaking to see how evil has been raising its head since 2014 and how many innocent people have had to die due to war and terror. In June 2022 I co-founded a charity NGO Heroiam Slava to help Ukraine in the fight for its freedom. Our latest cause is locating deported children so that they could be brought back home. We felt that this is the cause where we, as tech specialists and journalists, are truly able to help to put tech into best use.

I’m truly grateful to Sigma Software, who helps us in this mission, and hope more people and companies would join me in supporting those who need it the most”.

Valery Krasovsky, co-founder and CEO of Sigma Software:

“Sigma Software has always been a responsible business. We believe and invest in a better future for Ukraine, initiating education programs, promoting Ukraine all over the world and supporting the country in the worst moment of its modern history. I`m a parent too, so when we got the request to help find the deported Ukrainian children, from the very first moment I understood we must support it.”

Please join the initiative and support the team directly.
