Pavlograd is the primary triage point for families fleeing Donetsk. To stabilize this hub, we deployed 1,000 high-density care packages. Weighing 13.2kg each and containing over 40,000 calories per box, these units provide the essential nutritional baseline for families restarting their lives."

A shelter without power in winter is a trap. We deployed 48 industrial generators (up to 60kW) and 25,200 liters of fuel to secure the electrical grid for IDP centers in Dnipropetrovsk. This infrastructure guarantees heat and light for 12,000 displaced people.

Winter is a survival challenge. In partnership with The World Orphan Fund, we commissioned and distributed 900 winter jackets to foster children across Ukraine. From the frontline zones of Kharkiv and Dnipro to IDP hubs in the west, we ensured vulnerable families had the gear they needed to face the cold.

Building from scratch takes too long. To house 15 displaced people before winter, we executed a rapid retrofit of an existing shell. By installing windows, plumbing, and essential appliances, we transformed an unlivable space into a warm home for a mixed-generation group of IDPs.

Following the Kakhovka Dam disaster, the immediate priority was reclaiming submerged homes and infrastructure. We rapidly deployed a fleet of industrial SCWT80 water pumps to the flood zone—high-output assets capable of draining basements and clearing access roads to pave the way for recovery.

When the Kakhovka Dam failed, the supply chain collapsed. We activated a rapid response protocol to deliver critical survival aid—water, hygiene kits, and thermal protection—stabilizing displaced families in the first critical hours after the disaster.

During the occupation, the Borodyanka Psychoneurological Center was a Russian command post. After liberation, the facility was dark and broken. With support from Barbara Friedman, we rebuilt the electrical infrastructure and supplied essential appliances, restoring light and dignity to a facility recovering from war crimes.

In Zarichne, there is no power grid. To keep residents warm, we commissioned local welders to manufacture 35 heavy-duty wood stoves. This approach supported local jobs and delivered rugged, essential heating infrastructure to families living on the battle line.

Sievierodonetsk faces a total utility collapse. As part of our large-scale manufacturing initiative, we deployed 60 custom wood-burning stoves to the city. These units provide immediate, decentralized heating for families living in shelters without electricity or gas.

Lyman faces a winter without electricity or gas. In a multi-agency operation funded by the Krohn Breakthrough Foundation and supported by Ukraine Trust Chain and Allied Extract, we delivered 70 wood-burning stoves to residents living in damaged homes.

To counter the energy crisis, the Krohn Breakthrough Foundation underwrote the manufacturing of 415 wood-burning stoves. These grid-independent units are being deployed across Kherson, Kharkiv, and Lyman, providing heat and cooking capabilities to thousands of residents living without electricity.

To support local healthcare infrastructure, we delivered 1,000 COVID-19 rapid tests to facilities in Chernivtsi. These essential supplies help medical staff screen patients and keep wards operating safely.

We deployed 1,500 Standardized Relief Kits to communities in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Totaling 15 tons of aid, these packages provide 3,000 people with high-calorie food staples and essential hygiene supplies to help them navigate winter in the east.

During a site visit to Ukraine, the Krohn Breakthrough Foundation sponsored a $10,000 immediate aid package. We deployed 500 family care bags, upgraded heating at the Borodyanka Psychoneurological Facility, and provided power solutions for IDPs living in temporary rail shelters.

We have upgraded to a new warehouse to handle increased volume. With a recent 22-ton delivery, we have now shipped 99 tons of aid into Ukraine—equivalent to 425,700 meals. Watch the team in action as we prep this load for Kharkiv and Dnipro.

See the full lifecycle of our aid operations. From the 22-person team assembling 11kg relief kits in our warehouse to the final distribution in seven different regions—this is how we turned raw supplies into support for 3,000 families.

The first shipment felt like a miracle; this one feels like routine. We just received another 34 tons of food and hygiene products. We are stabilizing our supply chain with the goal of scaling from 70 tons to 140 tons of monthly aid delivery.

It takes 30 volunteers and 10-hour days to assemble 3,000 relief kits. We break down exactly what goes into our 10kg survival bags—from 28,000 calories of food to essential hygiene—and track their journey to Kharkiv, Dnipro, and the besieged city of Severodonetsk.

The final pieces of the puzzle are here. To complement our international shipments, we sourced 11 tons of meat, sugar, and oil to complete our inventory. With these raw materials in hand, we can now begin assembling 3,000 relief kits for Kharkiv.

We drove 16 hours to Istanbul to secure a 20% cost reduction on supplies. The result? A 22-ton shipment of food and hygiene products that allows us to assemble comprehensive relief kits for just $30. Read about how we are maximizing donor impact through direct sourcing.
