We are delighted to announce that the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has made a generous donation of $20,000 to support the "First Aid Kits for Ukrainian Journalists" campaign. This charitable gesture is a bright example of solidarity and concern for the safety of media workers in Ukraine
2402 Foundation expresses its sincere gratitude for this donation, which will enable the purchase of vital first aid kits and tourniquets for Ukrainian journalists who risk their lives daily while reporting from conflict zones.
Kateryna Sergatskova, co-founder of 2402 Foundation , emphasizes the importance of this support:
"CPJ always stands up for journalists, and they prove it with deeds. The safety of a journalist in a dangerous environment is, first of all, awareness of risks and life-saving skills. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you need to apply these skills, such as first aid, you need basic resources to do so. A first-aid kit is the basic life-saving resource that every journalist working at the front should have - without it, saving lives is much more difficult. I hope that the example of such organizations, which provide this resource to journalists in countries where there is a devastating war, will help wider circles understand the importance of comprehensive support for press safety. Without journalists, we will not see the truth, and without the truth, we will not be able to make informed decisions."
CPJ's support not only saves lives but also helps preserve press freedom and the right to information under the most challenging conditions. Each first aid kit and tourniquet purchased thanks to this contribution will become a symbol of solidarity and care for those who work tirelessly for the truth.
We are deeply grateful to CPJ for their commitment to protecting journalists and for the tangible assistance that makes the work of Ukrainian media professionals safer. Your support is an investment in truth and freedom of information.
