Now you can help charitable organizations in Armenia using the Yandex Go application. Users of the new “Let’s Help Together” section can choose how much money they want to donate for assistance, which will increase the current value of transport assistance. At the end of each month, Yandex Go will contribute the collected amount, thereby increasing its contribution to charitable organizations.

To start helping, users of the Yandex Go application in the “Let’s Help Together” section choose the amount of the donation – 10, 30, 50, 100 or 500 drams. After selecting the amount, the user is subscribed to the donation, and the amount is added to the value of each transport trip. In order to work, when ordering, it is necessary to choose the payment method, indicating the bank card linked to the application. Subscription to donations can be joined and canceled at any time in the “Let’s Help Together” section, which is located on the left side of the application.

Ashot Sargsyan, the head of “NICA Foundation”, remarks, “We are launching the “Let’s Help Together” initiative so that each resident of Armenia can become socially responsible and start helping. Our problem is to develop Armenian NGOs and increase the volume of assistance provided to them. The list of services offered by this mechanism is targeted at the development of the industrial sector. All collected means will be transferred to the NICA foundation to finance their programs. Each month, all funds collected will be transferred to the foundation’s partner NGOs. The total amount will be used to finance each organization according to their needs. All organizations have passed a thorough audit, and Yandex Armenia will provide financial support to their programs every month. We invite you to become part of our country’s social life.”

Narine Manukyan, president of the “Armenian Mothers” NGO, notes, “Now the “Let’s Help Together” program can be activated in all cities where Yandex Go is available. In Armenia, there are more than fifty of them: connect to this mechanism by following the link below to increase the amount of assistance provided. Connect.”
