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.

In the shelling zones of the South, physical school is often impossible. To prevent children from falling behind, we partnered with The World Orphan Fund to deploy tablets to a rehabilitation center in Odessa and foster homes in Mykolaiv, restoring access to remote learning.

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.

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.

Living on a gym floor is not just uncomfortable; it is a health risk. We partnered with The World Orphan Fund to upgrade a shelter in Uzhhorod housing 75 displaced people. By delivering beds, blankets, and appliances, we got families off the cold floor and restored their ability to cook and stay warm.

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.

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.

We deployed 150 relief kits to displaced families in Korostyshiv. These aren't random groceries; each 10kg package is engineered to provide 28,000 calories—enough to feed two people for a week—along with a full month's supply of hygiene and sanitation essentials.

Feeding 75 people is a logistical challenge. Under our 'Gifts of Light' program, sponsored by the Krohn Breakthrough Foundation and Allied Extract, we installed a high-capacity freezer and microwave in a Chernivtsi shelter. This upgrade allows the facility to stock food in bulk and ensure food security for its residents.

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.

Consistency is key. We delivered another 15 tons of aid to the Kharkiv region. See the photos from our latest distribution, where we provided 1,500 families with the food and hygiene staples they need to keep going.

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.

The war's impact isn't limited to the frontlines. We delivered 300 care packages to displaced families and disabled individuals living in shelters in Chernivtsi. From converted schools to gymnasiums, we are supporting those who have lost their homes and are rebuilding their lives in the west.

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.
