NEW
YORK and VIENNA,
Va., June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Kaleyra, Inc. (NYSE: KLR) (NYSE American: KLR WS)
("Kaleyra" or the "Company"), a rapidly growing
omnichannel business communications platform, announced today that
it will donate nearly $30,000 to
Ukrainian relief efforts.
In March, Kaleyra outlined a series of initiatives it would
undertake to support the Ukrainian people, including fundraising to
address the immediate needs for medical supplies and aid for
displaced Ukrainian families. Today's announcement sees the
fulfillment of this initiative through a donation to the Ukrainian
Red Cross Society. In addition to Kaleyra's corporate gift of
$20,000, employee donations provided
nearly $10,000 in additional funds to
the organization for a total of almost $30,000. the Ukrainian Red Cross Society is
working to repair vital infrastructure, provide much-needed medical
supplies, and help families with food and other needs, including
psychological support.
"We continue to stand against the war with Ukraine and its people," said Kaleyra CEO
Dario Calogero. "That is why Kaleyra
is donating to the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, which is expected
to directly impact the lives of refugees and those who remain in
Ukraine. At Kaleyra, we've always
believed that it only takes a small group of dedicated individuals
to create tremendous positive change in the lives of others. We're
proud of our team's efforts to ease the hardships facing the
Ukrainian people."
In addition to the Company's fundraising efforts, Kaleyra
employees made two trips to refugee areas in Romania over the past few months. The first
trip saw Kaleyreans quickly mobilize and travel over 1,900
kilometers to reach the Romania-Ukraine border with essential supplies and
laptops to support FDP – Protagoniști în Educație, the local NGO
whose mission is to promote the human dignity of the most
disadvantaged people in the area, and has pivoted to focus on the
Ukrainian refugee crisis. The second trip, also in support of FDP –
Protagoniști în Educație, was to Bucarest to provide food and
cleaning supplies to local communities and Romanian Social Services
hosting refugees. Teammates were able to visit communities and
engage with Ukrainian refugees first-hand.
Kaleyra's donation of $30,000 is a
direct reflection of the esprit de corps and global citizenry of
the organization. While monetary donations and supply trips have
been an integral part of Kaleyra's plan to support the region,
Kaleyra also has instituted an employment program for displaced
Ukrainians and has stated that it will continue to look for
meaningful ways to contribute to Ukrainian relief efforts well into
the future.
