Currently, there are 8 Yapomogaboxes operating in Kyiv

In Kyiv, Yapomogabox, which feeds homeless animals in exchange for plastic bottles, will now send 10 kopecks from each bottle collected to assistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the same amount for the United24 program.

This is a joint project of the public Yapomoga organization, METRO UA trading company and Vtorma UA processing industry enterprise, reports Yapomoga on Facebook.

Another 10 coins from the returned plastic bottle, which would pollute the planet for decades, the organizers will transfer to the project Yapomogabox. In addition to animals, he takes care of the elderly and special children.

"So, now by handing over plastic, you join not only in helping those who cannot take care of themselves (kittens, dogs, children, and the elderly), but also in purchasing a new drone or weapon for the Armed Forces and rebuilding the country," says Yapomoga

There are currently 8 boxes operating in Kyiv:

  • St. Illenko 71;
  • St. Protasiv Yar 15 (SOCAR gas station) Yapomogabox 3.0;
