cyber-Wear sends another donation in kind to Mogilev

Following the move to the new headquarters, in spring cyber-Wear again sent a substantial donation in kind to the Mogiljower Children's Home, supported and founded by the association "Hilfe für Chernobyl-damaged children". After the relief supplies were released by the authorities, they arrived well in Mogilev. The Association would like to express its sincere thanks for the donated goods, as the support helps to ensure that the aid transports continue to be stocked with high quality goods and that they find useful and helpful use by the recipients. Similar transports take place twice a year.

For years now cyber-Wear has been providing regular support to the organisation which provides aid to children affected by Chernobyl. The organisation, which is based in the Rhineland region, not only runs the children’s home in Mogilev but also organises and supports social and medical projects in the affected region of Belarus.

More than three decades have passed since the explosion in Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear power station on 26 April 1986. About 30% of neighbouring Belarus was contaminated. The area in and around Mogilev was one of the more heavily affected areas. Children are particularly vulnerable. Four years after the catastrophe, an abrupt increase in incidences of thyroid cancer in children was determined. 170 orphans are being brought up at the children's home, most of them with some form of disability. Of these 170 young children 11 suffer from epilepsy, 28 from diseases of the skeletal and muscular system, and 30 from metabolic and eating disorders .
