Helped the most important

About wonderful people…

The Foundation's participation in trade union work
The development of the trade union movement is a reliable basis for the well-being of the labor collective. This is an advanced indicator in European countries, where the principles of democracy and the rule of law come first. The Hesed Besht Civil Society Foundation and all employees voluntarily joined the Trade Union of Social Workers, and the Foundation has a primary trade union organization. Therefore, the III reporting and election conference became an important event for all participants in this movement.
