Dear Esteemed Partners,

As we celebrate the holiday season, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and extend warm holiday wishes to all of you. This is a perfect time to reflect on what we have achieved together over the past year and envision our path forward.

In 2024, through our joint efforts and collaboration, we have made considerable progress in Ukraine’s recovery. Whether it was creating opportunities, fostering inclusivity, or ensuring sustainable development, your partnership has been crucial in driving meaningful change. These achievements echo Ukraine’s indomitable spirit, much like Ukrainian world champion boxer Oleksandr Usyk’s remarkable victory over Tyson Fury, which embodies unity and hope for a brighter future.

Looking ahead, the coming year promises even greater opportunities for collaboration. We aim to build on our successes by continuing to innovate, digitize, and empower the communities of Ukraine. Your ongoing commitment and support are vital to transforming these aspirations into achievements.

Thank you for being steadfast partners in our journey towards a resilient and thriving Ukraine. Your dedication and commitment inspire us every day.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and peace.

Sincerely,

Jaco Cilliers
Resident Representative
