Taxi vehicles to display images of charity fundraising events.
In a unique charitable initiative, Yandex Taxi has announced plans to adorn their partner vehicles, carrying passengers in over 360 cities across Russia, with paintings created by children from various charitable organizations.
Typically gray and monotone, the vehicles will soon burst with vibrant colors and creativity, as they incorporate drawings of spaceships, mythical creatures, and scenic landscapes created by these young artists.
Children from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and other cities have contributed to this project, which is supported by ten non-profit organizations including the "Habensky Foundation," "Naked Hearts," and "Hear the Music."
These organizations support children with health and developmental needs, or those facing challenging life situations. A total of 26 paintings will be applied to the vehicles, bearing the names of their young authors.
Notably, Yandex Taxi's "Trips for NGOs" program organized 135,997 trips for children in 2024, and in the first quarter of 2025, there were 44,381 trips.

The vibrant paintings on the partner vehicles of Yandex Taxi, whether they depict spaceships, mythical creatures, or scenic home-and-garden landscapes, are a reflection of the young artists' lifestyle, who come from diverse backgrounds and are supported by charitable organizations. This initiative, supported by foundations like Habensky Foundation, Naked Hearts, and Hear the Music, aims to transform the typically monotone vehicles into moving canvases that echo the creative spirit of the cities where they operate.
