Podari Zhizn (Template:Lang-ru) is a countrywide Russian non-governmental charitable organization founded in 2006 by actresses Dina Korzun and Chulpan Khamatova. It has sister charities in the United Kingdom (Gift of Life)[2] and in the United States (Podari.Life).[3]
The main goal of the foundation is treatment, support and rehabilitation of children and young adults with oncological, hematological and other life-threatening conditions in Russia and CIS.
History
The Russian branch of the organization was founded on 26 November 2006 by famous Russian actresses Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun. The idea was proposed by Galina Chalikova, who then became the first director of the organization, and by oncohematologists Galina Novichkova, Alexei Maschan, and Mikhail Maschanov. Previously, similarly named benefit concerts were organized by a group of activists, most prominently by Yuri Shevchuk.[4][5]
Since then, regular events have been organized in Moscow featuring many Russian celebrities, e.g. Andrey Makarevich, Chaif, Oleg Basilashvili, Alisa Freindlich, Diana Arbenina, Marina Neyolova, Liya Akhedzhakova, Leonid Yarmolnik, Sergei Garmash, Artur Smolyaninov, Viktoriya Tolstoganova, Emmanuil Vitorgan, Konstantin Khabensky, Vyacheslav Butusov, Ilya Lagutenko, Mumiy Troll, Neschastny Sluchai and others.[6][7][8][9][10]
The foundation established connections with leading medical facilities, such as Dmitry Rogachev National Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology; Russian Children’s Clinical Hospital, Russian Research Center of Radiology, Moscow Regional Oncology Center, N. N. Institute of Neurosurgery, Morozov Children’s Municipal Clinical Hospital, and S.P. Botkin Municipal Clinical Hospital, and oncology centers in Russian regions.[11]
In 2011, the Federal Center for Pediatric Onco-Hematology was established, which received state-of-the-art equipment from Podari Zhizn. The Center delivers treatment to more than one thousand patients annually.[12]
Each year in June, Podari Zhizn organizes The World Children's Winners Games to help children who have overcome cancer get back to normal life and rehabilitate after the long battle with the disease.[13]
Gift of Life
A UK-based sister charity of Podari Zhizn, Gift of Life, was established on 2 March 2011 in London.[14][15] Gift of Life works together with Podari Zhizn and Podari.Life to maximize support and care for children with cancer and their families, who might otherwise have no hope for successful treatment. Gift of Life raises funds for purchasing vital cancer medications currently unavailable in Russia, funding treatments abroad and arranging teaching and operating visits of foreign medical professionals to The Federal Center for Pediatric Onco-Hematology in Moscow. It also facilitates searches for and activation of suitable bone marrow transplants in international donor registers, if a donor cannot be found among the patient’s relatives.
The Gift of Life have organized numerous cultural events and fundraisers in London.[16][17] They feature British, Russian and international stars, e.g. Teodor Currentzis,[18][19] Ralph Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave,[20] Katie Melua,[21] Stephen Fry, Mark-Francis Vandelli,[22] Vivien Duffield.[23]
The main fundraiser of the charity in The Gift of Life Russian Old New Year’s Eve Gala. In 2017 Gift of Life and its supporters were able to help over 75 Russian patients, and spent £783,097 on vital cancer medicines, surgeries and treatments abroad. The most recent data on Gift of Life income and spending can be searched at the Charity Commission website.[24]
Podari.Life
On 1 June 2015, Podari.Life Inc was founded in the United States by a group of enthusiasts who have volunteered at Podari Zhizn. Its mission is to advance public education about childhood cancer and to increase awareness among medical professionals in Russia.[25]
Mission and goals
The foundation engages in multiple activities in the field of oncology in Russia. Its stated goals are:[26]
- to raise money for the treatment and rehabilitation of children with cancer and serious blood diseases
- to help the oncology and hematology hospitals that treat children and young adults
- to raise the public awareness of problems faced by seriously ill children
- to promote the voluntary unpaid blood donor movement
- to provide social and psychological aid to the ill children
- to develop the work of volunteer groups at medical centers dealing with pediatric onco-hematology.
It also successfully lobbies for legislative changes and tax incentives that will promote access to anticancer drugs and improve conditions of oncological patients.[27]
Achievements
Since its creation, the Russian branch of the foundation has helped over 40 000 children and young adults. It is Russia's leading childhood cancer organization and one of the most recognizable independent charity foundations in Russia.[28]
In 2012, the founders received a special prize For Humanism by the Russian Academy of Cinema Arts and Science.[29]
