Christmas parcels to make childrens´eyes sparkle – Ukraine
For many children in Ukraine, especially those living in front-line and near-front regions, in orphanages or families facing hardship, Christmas is far from the usual cozy time of celebration.
This year again, for the 5th year, World HAND International will bring with your support a little light, joy and warmth to children in frontline areas. In these dark times knowing, that someone is thinking of you and that you are not alone, is so much more than one in safety might anticipate. A Christmas parcel may seem small, but for a child in these times, it means so much more.
Help us bring a sparkle to children's eyes. Share your smile and bring a smile to a child´s face this Christmas!
1. Sponsor a Christmas parcel – €25
With a donation of €25, we take care of everything: purchasing the gifts, packing the parcels, transporting them to and within Ukraine and delivering them directly to children.
Want to make an even bigger difference? Sponsor several parcels:
€25 – 1 Christmas parcel
€100 – 4 Christmas parcels
€250 – 10 Christmas parcels
Every contribution helps bring Christmas joy to even more children.
2. Pack a Christmas parcel yourself
Prefer to put together a gift personally? Fill a shoebox with small surprises and useful everyday items.
What to include:
Toys and games: Small toys, dice and card games, soft toys, balls or whistles

Good-quality, gently used items are very welcome (they have to be in good condition, washed and clean).

Help us deliver Christmas joy - Transportation costs
Collecting and packing gifts is only part of the journey. Transporting thousands of parcels to children in front-line and near-front regions of Ukraine requires vehicles, drivers and fuel.
Donations towards transportation costs are essential to making these deliveries possible. Every contribution helps us bring Christmas parcels directly to children who would otherwise be without one.
Donate now
Please enter “Christmas Parcels” as the donation purpose if you wish, or donate towards another purpose important to you.
Together, we can make sure that more children in Ukraine experience a little Christmas magic.
* For donations of €300 or more we issue a donation receipt for your tax office. For smaller amounts, your bank statement is sufficient for the tax office in Germany. Should your country’s tax offices still demand a donation receipt, we are happy to provide it. Kindly send us an email to info@worldhandinternational.org
