Humanitarian mission

In 2022, our main partner — Ukrainian Education Platform rapidly adapted its activities due to the russian full-scale invasion. To overcome the consequences, the Humanitarian responce direction appeared:

During 2022-2023, we helped people affected by the war in Ukraine in the following areas:

  • 67900 food kits were provided for 93000 IDPs and people living in front-line areas;
  • 19100 hygiene kits were provided to 19100 households;
  • In response to the destruction of Nova Kakhovka Dam 17 556 hot meals were distributed to those who suffered Khersona and nearest to the dam villages;
  • 98 800 people living in Dnipro’s shelters and front line areas in Kharkiv region (Borova, Kupiansk, izhum) were supported with hot meals;
  • the evacuation of about 10,500 people from the occupied and front-line territories of Ukraine;
  • 1000 people received help in the form of winterization and wash repair works in the shelters and houses at front-line areas, that improved their live conditions;
  • nearly 4925 people who live in the shelters were supported with small household appliances to improve their live conditions;
  • grants for over 23 185 470 UAH for organizations on the occupied territories;
  • 3536 notebooks for children and youth to solve the educational problems caused by the war;

At the moment, with DanChurchAid we have started a project with the aim to provide drinking water to the residents of the front-line zones, namely Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhya, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions. For this, wells and water purification systems will be installed in densely populated areas of cities and villages, so that nearly 7500 people will have access to water at any time.

We are also starting the construction of houses together with our partners Kerk in Actie and World Partners for temporary residence of IDPs in the city of Kropyvnytskyi and the village of Volodymyrivka, Kirovohrad region. It will be 12 full-fledged apartments with a room, a bathroom and a kitchen-studio, which will allow families who have lost their homes and had to move to a safer area to live for some time.

In addition, we were able to quickly react to the explosion of the Kakhovskaya HPP and the flooding of coastal areas. Thanks to our German and British partners ASB and RE:ACT, we have been providing the affected population with hot food, water, hygiene products, generators and water purification systems since the first days of the disaster, and we plan to continue to do so as long as the need arises.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have established a close partnership with more than 90 public and charitable organizations throughout Ukraine. We work together to overcome the consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine. Since August 2022, we have started a new format of cooperation with local partners — Support Centers. The Support Center of the Ukrainian Education Platform is an organization that unites a cluster of civil society organizations (CSOs) and religious communities that implement their own projects in partnership with the Ukrainian Education Platform in the regions of Ukraine. The partnership between the Ukrainian Education Platform and Support Centers involves deep cooperation and helps to solve the most pressing problems and challenges of the region. To date, we have already opened 10 support centers in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Kyiv, Sumy, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Mykolaiv regions and we plan to open 8 more in other regions of Ukraine.
