Winter Relief: Share Warmth, Light and Clean Water
Updated: 5h
Temperatures are dropping. Every donation now brings warmth, light and clean water to regions near the front line.
Your help is needed now. This winter.
Warmth: fuel, stoves and warming centres
Light and warmth for children’s homes and kindergartens: €3,800 per facility
Safe drinking water without electricity: €2,000 per water box
Ukraine is entering its fifth winter of war. Attacks on the energy infrastructure repeatedly knock out heating, lighting and the water supply. Children and people close to the front line are hit hardest.
World HAND International has supported people in Ukraine since the start of the invasion, among other things with distributions of food, water and hygiene items, psychosocial centres and MHPSS training for multiplicators, with evacuations and children centres.
Winter relief in Ukraine is important, freezing temperatures (-20 degrees in some regions) and continuous attacks on infrastructure makes humanitarian aid and development cooperation incredibly important.
We want to make it easy for you to support. Give as much as you can and as much as you want. Leave an earmarked donation for the topic most important to you. Share your warmth and light with people in the cold and dark.
Here is a look at what winter relief means on the ground:
Fuel and stoves
Where heating has failed, fuel and stoves keep families warm through the coldest nights.
Warming centres
In warming centres, people can come in from the cold, stay if needed for a few days, drink and eat something hot, charge their phones, rest and meet with others from their community. Some of our warming centres are supported by our psychologists, social workers, as well as doctors.
Here are examples of what your donation can achieve:
Help a family access therapy (€60 for several sessions, group and individual)
Supply one family with essentials for a month (€80 per family)
Evacuation mission (€600 per evacuation bus to bring people to safety)
Light and warmth for kindergartens and orphanages (€3,800 per facility for an inverter and a battery, to help with warmth and light when there is no electricity)
Water box for frontline regions: drinking water without electricity (€2,000 per box)
Christmas parcel campaign to bring Christmas joy to children in near- and frontline regions, with 2 options: donate 25€ for a parcel or pack one yourself, in Ukraine is running for the 5th year.
Donations towards transportation costs are essential to making these deliveries possible. Every contribution helps us bring Christmas gifts directly to children who otherwise receive none.
You make our work possible. All donations directly support our humanitarian work on the ground.
Please enter “winter relief” as the purpose if you wish your donation to be used where it is needed most in our winterization programme.
