The Tech For Good Dublin community has launched a new website – Pryvit.ie – which enables Irish businesses to welcome refugees escaping from Ukraine. It is a not-for-profit initiative.
Pryvit means hello in Ukrainian and the aim of the site is to allow people who have been displaced by the war to access special offers and discounted goods listed by Irish businesses.
Ukrainian refugees
It facilitates companies across Ireland to place a ‘welcome offer’ of discounted or free goods or services to those arriving in Ireland from Ukraine.
Examples of offers could include deals from all types of businesses including grocery shops, cafés, gyms, pharmacies and drapery shops.
Máirin Murray co-founder of Tech for Good Dublin explains, “The Tech community in Ireland are horrified by the war in Ukraine and want to welcome those arriving here in such difficult circumstances.
“Pryvit.ie is a simple idea that allows businesses to offer a helping hand through a welcome offer for their goods or services to Ukrainian refugees.”
“The easiest way for Irish business to help the people of Ukraine is through its core products and services, and I am hopeful that, as it grows, Pryvit.ie will act as a very useful directory of what is available.
“It will also be a testament to the kindness and generosity of the Irish business and tech community,” she added.
