The MHP-Hromada Charitable Foundation contributed to the purchase of rowing equipment for athletes in Vinnytsia region to help solve the problem of chronic shortage of sports equipment.

The MHP-Hromada Charitable Foundation has joined the purchase of rowing equipment for athletes from Vinnytsia region, UNN reports.

Details

The equipment was purchased as part of the Public Budget competition from the Ladyzhyn City Territorial Community. This is a great tool that allows any city resident to win a grant for an important social idea.

Activists from Ladyzhyn applied to participate in the competition. Among them are members of the national team, winners of Ukrainian and even world championships.

The fact is that for the past 20 years, the department where they train has been experiencing a chronic shortage of sports equipment, most of which was purchased 35 years ago. The shortage of boats forces children to stand in long lines to get out on the water. Some give up on their dream altogether.

As a result, the rowing team purchased a new boat and accessories for UAH 200 thousand, of which UAH 100 thousand was allocated to MHP-Hromada.
