Russian Red Cross Launches “Zdes Pomogayut” Care Support App
The service, designed for caregivers and people who need assistance, is now available on Android and iOS.
The Russian Red Cross has been developing the aggregator platform since 2023. Previously, users could access it through desktop and web versions. Now they can also use a mobile app for Android and iOS, available on Google Play, RuStore, and the App Store, the organization’s press service said.
The app allows users to request help with accompaniment, grocery shopping, household tasks, and leisure activities. Qualified professionals with relevant education and social service organizations can respond to requests. Users communicate through an in-app chat, while ratings and reviews help them choose a caregiver. Helpers include employees of partner organizations and self-employed professionals who have passed interviews with Russian Red Cross psychologists. The organization verifies their information before publishing their profiles. The pilot program involved 52 regional branches of the Russian Red Cross.
