Based on the past year's performance, the district branch of the Belarusian Peace Fund holds a worthy position in the Vitebsk region for attracting funds per capita and their effective utilisation.

However, the collection of funds is not the primary goal. Almost all funds raised by the organisation are immediately put to use. It was with these funds that events such as the photo exhibition "Family Album" and a competition of essays by district students titled "Happiness to Live in a Peaceful Country," dedicated to the 545th anniversary of the Belarusian Peace Fund, were held. Gifts were presented to four veteran workers. Frames were purchased for portraits of local heroes of the Lepel district, painted by the young artist Alexey Lyashchev. The district tournament of intellectual games among students and the festival of children's and youth creativity "Borovskaya Spring" left many vivid impressions on the audience. Annually, gifts are purchased for young families who have had children on World Peace Day, September 21st. The basketball championship for the prize of the internationalist soldier Igor Solovyov and other events are held with money from the district branch of the Belarusian Peace Fund.

Undoubtedly, the district branch of the Belarusian Peace Fund undertakes a significant amount of work. However, it is greatly desired that employees of organisations and enterprises do not remain indifferent to this noble cause and make their worthy contribution to it.

Voluntary contributions can be transferred to the Vitebsk branch of the Belarusian Peace Fund, Directorate of OJSC Belinvestbank of the Vitebsk region, account No. 3015411066013, UNP 300126737, OKPO 05836097, code 153001739.

Additionally, funds are accepted at the district executive committee via a statement in office No. 210 (second floor, tel. 6-70-58). When transferring funds, it is imperative to indicate the organisation, district, and inform the Department of Ideological Work, Culture and Youth Affairs of the transferred amount.
