Activities | International Boris the Cat Award Initiatives

Areas of activity

Non-profit organization International Boris the Cat Award is dedicated to addressing pressing social and environmental issues in Eurasian countries. Adhering to a European approach, we act modestly yet effectively to bring about positive changes in society. Despite our small team of volunteers, supporters, and experts, we strive to make our humble contribution, often collaborating with larger non-profit organizations. Our activities are focused on four main areas:

Protection of Motherhood and Childhood
Responsible Treatment of Animals
Support of Culture
Support of Amateur Sports

1. Protection of Motherhood and Childhood

Relevance of the Issue

In Eurasian countries, a significant number of children live in orphanages and require support. Limited resources in these institutions often prevent them from providing the necessary conditions for children's full development. According to international organizations, over 600,000 children in the region are without parental care.

Our Activities

1.1. "Comfort for Every Child"

Providing Inventory and Equipment: We supply orphanages with furniture, household appliances, and other necessary items to create a comfortable and safe environment.
Supplying Educational Materials: We deliver books, stationery, and other educational resources that contribute to children's development.

1.2. "Hygiene and Health"

Promoting Hygiene: We organize campaigns and events to spread knowledge about the importance of personal hygiene among children and orphanage staff.
Providing Hygiene Products: We supply soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other essential items to maintain health.

Collaboration

We partner with larger non-profit organizations to amplify our efforts and ensure a broader reach.

Regional Statistics

Up to 30% of children in orphanages lack access to necessary hygiene products, affecting their health and well-being.

2. Responsible Treatment of Animals

Relevance of the Issue

Cruelty towards animals and irresponsible attitudes remain serious problems in Eurasian countries. Illegal hunting, exploitation of animals for entertainment, and a shortage of shelters for stray animals exacerbate the situation.

Our Activities

2.1. "Voice for Animals"

Promoting the Ban of Animal Circuses and Petting Zoos: We advocate for legislative changes by collaborating with larger NGOs and public movements.
Information Campaigns: We organize events and distribute materials to raise public awareness about the exploitation of animals.

2.2. "Against Poaching"

Educational Activities: We conduct events to inform the public about the consequences of poaching and illegal hunting.
Collaboration with Environmental Organizations: We support initiatives aimed at preserving wildlife.

2.3. "Assisting Shelters"

Collecting and Distributing Supplies: We organize collections of necessary items for shelters, including food, medicines, and care products.
Volunteer Support: Whenever possible, we provide volunteer assistance to animal shelters.

Collaboration

Our modest contribution is amplified through partnerships with larger organizations that share our goals.

Regional Statistics

Every year, about 2 million animals in the region become homeless, many of which do not receive the necessary help.

3. Support of Culture

Relevance of the Issue

Many talented individuals in Eurasian countries lack opportunities to develop their abilities due to financial constraints. Access to quality instruments and education is often limited, especially in remote regions.

Our Activities

3.1. "Instruments for Talents"

Acquiring Musical Instruments: We help gifted musicians and ensembles by providing them with necessary instruments.
Fundraising: We organize campaigns to collect funds and instruments from donors.

3.2. "Cultural Development"

Supporting Local Initiatives: We assist in conducting concerts and cultural events at the local level.
Information Support: We help spread information about talented performers through our networks and partners.

Collaboration

By working with larger cultural organizations, we aim to expand opportunities for talented individuals.

Regional Statistics

Over 40% of young talents in the region lack access to necessary resources to develop their abilities.

4. Support of Amateur Sports

Relevance of the Issue

Physical activity and sports play a crucial role in youth development, but many amateur sports clubs face resource shortages. The lack of necessary equipment and access to training facilities limits opportunities for young athletes.

Our Activities

4.1. "Equipment for Success"

Providing Sports Uniforms and Equipment: We assist youth football and hockey clubs with the necessary gear.
Collecting Used Equipment: We organize collections of second-hand sports equipment to donate to clubs.

4.2. "Access to Training"

Facilitating Access to Halls and Fields: We help clubs gain access to training venues.
Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle: We conduct information campaigns about the benefits of sports.

Collaboration

We work with local sports associations and larger NGOs to enhance the impact of our initiatives.

Regional Statistics

About 70% of youth in the region lack access to organized sports activities due to financial limitations.

Conclusion

The International Boris the Cat Award aims to make its humble contribution to solving important social and environmental problems in Eurasian countries. Despite our small team of volunteers, supporters, and experts, we believe that even small efforts can lead to significant changes, especially when we join forces with other organizations that share our values.
