Charlotte, NC – Polaris Healthcare Partners announced today it is making a contribution to the UNICEF Organization in support of its efforts to bring much-needed relief to the children of war-torn Afghanistan. The country has over one million children under the age of five who are confronting skyrocketing food prices, a severe drought with little clean drinking water, the spread of COVID-19, and another harsh winter coming. In addition to its own contribution,
Polaris is announcing that it will match any contributions from its subscriber and customer base up to $5,000.
"We're always 'head-down' to bring resources and solutions to the challenges facing our clients, so occasionally things happen in life that catch you completely off guard. The more you see and the more you read about the life-threatening challenges children face right now in Afghanistan, the more it makes our challenges pale in comparison." said Diwakar Sinha, one of Polaris's Co-Founders. "We wanted to do our small part to show some support even at this early stage of our company's history."
UNICEF has been on the ground in Afghanistan for 65 years delivering life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable, especially children. UNICEF is supporting mobile health and nutrition teams in camps for internally displaced persons, setting up nutrition hubs and vaccination sites, pre-positioning additional life-saving supplies, and supporting students in community-based education classes.
Company Co-Founder Perrin DesPortes went on to say, "Our hope is that we can use our megaphone and our network to create even a small impact on the lives of children over there. We hope that you'll join us in making a contribution. If you do, send us an email, text or screenshot of the amount you contributed and we'll match it. Let's do this together."
Polaris Healthcare Partners' mission is to help dentists and other healthcare entrepreneurs build and sustain successful group practices. The company provides support through discovery of needs, executive level consulting, access to capital, equity partnerships and M&A advisory services.
