On February 15, at the Sochi Russian Investment Forum, the Lake Baikal Foundation for Environmental Applications and Research and the \u00abWorld Around You\u00bb\u00a0Foundation of the Siberian Health Corporation signed an agreement on cooperation. According to the agreement \u00abThe World Around You\u00bb Foundation will finance the projects of the \u00abLake Baikal\u00bb Foundation for the current year in the amount of 6.5 million rubles.<\/p>\n
The \u00abWorld Around You\u00bb Foundation has been carrying out charitable activities since 2012 to preserve the main water body of the country – Lake Baikal. According to Tatyana Gorokhovskaya, President of the Siberian Health Corporation, the decision to cooperate with the Lake Baikal Foundation allows us to consolidate efforts to preserve the lake and make them as efficient as possible: \u00abWe expect synergy from our work. We, as a business, have the desire and opportunity to help preserve our wealth – a unique UNESCO World Heritage Site. Colleagues have the necessary expertise and experience of significant projects. I am confident that our cooperation will allow us to obtain qualitative results aimed at preserving the ecology of the lake\u00bb.<\/p>\n
In turn, CEO at the Lake Baikal Foundation Anastasia Tsvetkova laid emphasised that the \u00abWorld Around You\u00bb Foundation of the Siberian Health Corporation is the first \u00abLake Baikal\u00bb Foundation corporate partner. Before that the Foundation used to carry out its activities supported by private donors. \u00abWe highly estimate our trustee\u2019s trust and seek to justify it with each new project, which grow in quantity and quality through increased support. In the face of the Siberian Health Corporation, the Foundation finds a reliable strategic partner ready to use not only financial resources, but also its specialists for joint work\u00bb, – Anastasia Tsvetkova said.<\/p>\n
