CQ Ampega Asset Management Armenia, a subsidiary of CQ Investment Group announces the provision of 100 million Armenian drams (240.000 euros) of humanitarian aid to support Armenians from Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) who were forced to flee their homeland. With this contribution, the company aims to provide crucial assistance to families and children displaced from Artsakh, who are in a critical situation and forced to rebuild their lives from scratch. Andreas Wimmer, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of CQ Ampega Asset Management Armenia, emphasizes the company's continuous and strong commitment to Armenia, especially during this humanitarian crisis. "We, the shareholders and the Supervisory Board of the company, strongly believe that it is our duty to stand by the Armenian people in these difficult times and offer our support to those who have lost their lives, their loved ones and their homes."

This contribution provides a better future for a large number of young people from all over the world and gives them a voice as Youth Leaders in the international community and their home countries. In most cases, these youth come from low- or middle-income countries. The United Nations Youth Initiative in Vienna does significant work, through the initiation of global information and education campaigns, prevention, individual empowerment, youth events and social media activities, reaching millions of people every day to promote safe and healthy youth development.

We are pleased to announce to have made it possible for 100 Ukrainian pupils to start school in Vienna by sponsoring intensive German courses. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the "Ukrainian Saturday School in Vienna" has taken in countless new students who were displaced from their country. A great number of pupils are still on the waiting list. The majority of the children are expected to stay in Austria for a longer period of time and therefore need support in learning the German language. One of the goals of C-Quadrat Investment Group has always been to support children from conflict regions and help them to get a better start in life. We hope that these German courses help towards that goal.

Bees are the mainstay of our ecosystem. More than 80% of native flowering plants depend on their pollination. One third of global food production depends on bees and other insects. The C-Quadrat Investment Group would like to make a contribution in the fight against the decline of the global bee population and supports the initiative of Beefuture. The beekeepers of Beefuture lovingly and professionally take care of the C-Quadrat beehive, which has recently found its new home in Lower Austria. A pleasant side effect: up to 15 kg of honey can be harvested per year and hive!

C-Quadrat Ampega/Armenia's social objectives include promoting the development of an educational society. After previous reconstruction, the Noyemberyan Day Care Center was reopened as a joint initiative of the Tavush Diocese and C-Quadrat Ampega, in May 2022. The main goal of the center is to provide adequate educational and social care to more than 200 children from Noyemberyan and neighboring villages in the Tavush region. With this initiative C-Quadrat wants to contribute to the solution of the existing social problems in Armenia.
