ALDI’s €150,000 donation (50% of the project cost) will ensure that a total of 1 million packs of baby food puree are distributed.
According to Meleco’s representative Andreas Kreuzwieser, the idea behind this project started during last summer when it became clear that the war would continue into winter.
The donations have been allocated and distributed in the areas of Kiev, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kramatorsk, Cherson, Mykolajiw, and other smaller towns and villages in Eastern Ukraine.
Approximately 80 hospitals, refugee camps, and orphanages will receive squeeze bags. The ingredients include puree made of organic bananas, pears, apples, blueberries, blackberries, carrots, mangos, sweet potato, and peas. The first full load was successfully delivered in mid-February and the project will be completed by May 2023.
These joint efforts affirms ALDI’s commitment towards human rights protection while supporting sustainable supply chains that benefit everyone.
