Driven by the commitment and enthusiasm of our people, we initiate and support social sustainability projects. By realizing the impact of business on social welfare, we strive to produce positive change in the communities where we live and work. Several social incentives, started by Avenga in 2020, have been brought to life once again in 2021.
Social good
Stanford Distributed Computing Project
Folding@home is a distributed computing project to perform biomedical research using the computing power of volunteers. The initiative brings together volunteers who donate their personal computational resources for the researchers and scientists to process new data that helps to develop life-saving drugs. We joined the project and set up a folding@home lab from our spare Avenga hardware, which is 100% dedicated to folding.
United for Health
United for Health is an emergency project with a mission to raise funds for 100,000 express tests to make mass coronavirus testing possible. The next step of the project is funding critical medical equipment for hospitals. It is launched by the local Lviv IT Cluster, a community of IT companies and local authorities. Avenga Ukraine, as a member of Lviv IT Cluster, is participating in the initiative and, together with other companies contributing to the campaign, we have raised over $100 000 already.
Blood Donation Application
Avenga cares to make the process of blood donations easier with technologies. The company’s team developed a free mobile app, called Bank Krwi, which assists blood donors in Poland. With this app, people can check the availability of blood units in the blood banks.
Medical 3D Printing
Avenga’s people have joined different initiatives that are supporting hospitals with 3D printed medical equipment. It entails the production of adapters, developed by Mawi Pipeline, allowing a single assisted mechanical ventilation device to serve several patients simultaneously. Besides, Avenga supports the Provincial Hospital St. Padre Pio in Przemysl with 3D printed visors for medical personnel.
Support for Medical Centers and Hospitals
Avenga is proud to cooperate with life-saving initiatives. The previous year, the company contributed to and equipped several hospitals and medical centers, such as Szpital Żeromski in Krakow, Poland; Szpital Specjalistyczny in Kościerzyna, Poland; Hospital in Zhydachiv, Ukraine; Ambulance crew in Khmelnytsky, Ukraine; K.I.D.S. Foundation in Warsaw, Poland.
