But it was the «Mehr» project which was eventually declared the winner:
- Today the world is ruled by technology. Everyone talks about digitalization, digital, kaizen, and sometimes we forget about humanity itself. We decided to fill this gap and created a charitable project «Mehr»,- * accepting the award, noted the HR Director of AKFA Group Guzel Ganieva, - *The shelter for stray animals, which we have given to volunteers for management, serves a noble goal - to save the lives of our four-legged friends, to give them home and family. Every employee of our company was happy to take part in this project and a tremendous experience was gained. I hope that such charitable activities will increase in our country, - she summed up.
AKFA Group became the first private company in Uzbekistan to implement such a large-scale charity project in the field of animal welfare. Shelter «Mehr» has adopted the best international experience of working with homeless four-legged animals. Veterinary and canine services operate in the shelter, and all newly arrived animals go through the quarantine zone. Each pet is treated, vaccinated, socialized and helped to find a loving owner.
