Interchem Pharmaceutical Company has joined the initiative “Boriviter. Restoration” initiative, a large-scale art project to preserve cultural memory, in which 15 artists recreated the mosaic of Alla Gorska’s Sixty Saints in Mariupol, which was probably destroyed by Russian shelling.
According to the company in a press release, the symbolic part of the new panel, the head of the legendary bird, became a sign of InterChem’s participation in the initiative – the company will keep it as a talisman of invincibility and freedom.
“We joined this project not only as philanthropists, but first and foremost as Ukrainians who care about their heritage. We don’t know if the original of this magnificent mosaic has survived, but we will make every effort to preserve what it symbolized: the thirst for freedom and the strength for revival,” commented Anatoliy Reder, CEO of the company.
Participation in the initiative to restore cultural heritage has become another opportunity for Interchem to support the state and citizens of Ukraine in times of war. Since the first days of the full-scale invasion, the company has focused its efforts on helping the military, medics, IDPs and regions affected by the hostilities. In total, since the beginning of 2022, InterChem has donated over UAH 250 million to charity.
The key areas of the company’s charitable activities include the provision of medicines, the purchase of machinery and equipment for military units, and support for humanitarian initiatives. The company donated almost UAH 70 million worth of medicines and medical devices to the Ministry of Defense, the National Police, hospitals, orphanages and communities affected by the war. At the initiative of InterChem, mobile shelters were installed in Mykolaiv, Kherson, Chernihiv, and Odesa, and the company financed the purchase of marine drones, warning systems, and evacuation medevacs as part of United24 projects.
The company provides ongoing assistance to more than 40 combat units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and pays special attention to supporting air defense forces. “Interchem financed the creation of the RPS-7 Inhul electronic intelligence station, provided FPV drones for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Deltaquad Pro UAVs for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, night sights and night vision devices for air defense and naval units, etc. In general, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Interchem has donated dozens of powerful motor boats, hundreds of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, vehicles, including evacuation and reanimation vehicles, equipment for mobile air defense groups, searchlights and electronic warfare systems to the Defense Forces.
“As a pharmaceutical company, INTERCHEM is a strategic part of the national healthcare system. And as a responsible Ukrainian business, we are a strategic part of the resistance to the Russian invasion. Both of these roles complement each other; by supporting the army, we contribute to the security of citizens, and by taking care of citizens, we help to form a strong home front for our defenders,” emphasized Reder.
Currently, InterChem is committed to strategic charity and systematic support of foundations, NGOs, schools, hospitals and cultural institutions. Among the partners and beneficiaries of the company’s initiatives are United24, Ukraine WOW, Monster Corporation, South Wind, Prytula Foundation, Technari, Road Home, Red Cross, Federation of Jewish Communities of Southern Ukraine, Odesa Opera House and dozens of others.
