Social Responsibility

Helping homeless kitties

The right time to make a good job is now! @smltart starts new initiative on May 12th – helping hand for homeless kitties.

How does it work? We manage lots of different projects in our everyday work. Obviously, those projects have clear deadlines. Every time we finish the project on time, our company donates 10 Eur for kitties from VšĮ „Naminukai“. Our first donation is already done. It’s great motivation for us – kitties are waiting for food and medicine!
