Shopware and its two founders support Caritas International aid for Ukraine
Schöppingen, March 1st 2022 - shopware AG, along with the company's founders, brothers Stefan and Sebastian Hamann, are supporting the German NGO Caritas International to help provide emergency humanitarian aid towards those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Shopware strongly condemns the invasion and stands in support with all those affected, among whom are members of the Shopware family, friends and relatives.
According to Caritas International, aid is especially needed for the elderly, the sick, children and young people. Caritas International has been preparing for all types of emergencies and trained its staff nationwide, on, for example, running field kitchens, opening emergency shelters and providing psychological support to people who have had to leave their homes due to the conflict.
Since the beginning of the conflict in 2014, Caritas has already provided much-needed assistance to over 800,000 people in both Ukraine and Russia.
Shopware is convinced that all have a part to play. Everyone should stand together for a free, open, just and peaceful world. For anyone who would like to support, Shopware recommends researching and donating to the following organisations:
