In Moscow, the Coordination Centre of the Government of the Russian Federation awarded the winners of the National Prize “Our Contribution” for 2023-24.
Companies and non-profit organizations that made the greatest contribution to the implementation of national projects were singled out. Size did not matter: the participants included large world-class companies and individual entrepreneurs, the main thing was the benefit they brought to the country and its people.
For example, PJSC VimpelCom is one of the winners. The mobile operator Beeline, which is part of the company, works with the Lisa Alert team and actively uses artificial intelligence to search for missing people, which means saving time and lives.
The Women for Life charity sees its job as convincing women not to terminate their pregnancies. Over the course of its 8 years of existence, it has saved 4,376 lives.
“Only 5 percent of women are categorically inclined to terminate their pregnancy, and 95 percent hesitate and are subconsciously ready to be dissuaded from this step,” Natalya Moskvitina, president of the Women for Life charity foundation, told kp.ru. – Someone is building a career, someone thinks that 35 years is too late, and another is told by his mother: “A child? Of this? Don’t even think about it!” People call our 24-hour hotline for advice. We have psychologists and lawyers. We are present on social networks, we communicate with women who are faced with this choice, we have sent information about our foundation to doctors so that before referring a woman for surgery, they advise her to contact us or competently structure a conversation with her themselves. . Sales representatives also cooperate with us. By the way, men also contact the foundation and ask to convince their wife to keep the child…
The attention paid to demographics and family protection is not accidental.
