Friends, surely you heard that yesterday in Kyiv, as a result of enemy shelling, the Okhmatdyt buildings were damaged and destroyed. Okhmatdyt is the biggest pediatric hospital in Ukraine, where more than 20,000 children are treated every year and more than 65,000 patients come for consultations from all over the country.

Sigma Software and Sigma Software Unity Fund decided to urgently transfer 500,000 UAH (12,5K USD) to the Okhmatdyt Hospital to restore and purchase necessary equipment damaged during the enemy shelling, to ensure the conditions for continuous treatment of Ukrainian children.

If you`d like to support the hospital, you can donate “For Okhmatdyt” on our website.

Dear Friends,

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).

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!
