Aid to IDPs
While helping Ukrainians in the occupied territories, our organization found itself in danger which forced us to stop providing assistance in the occupied territories!
For six months, our organization provided Ukrainians within the occupied territory with more than 30,000 kg of self-produced wheat groats, over 6,000 kg of flour, over 1,000 grocery sets, several thousand diapers, hundreds of baby food servings, both dry milk mixtures and mashed potatoes, and vitamins. But the opportunity to provide such assistance physically has ceased, so we had to evacuate members of our organization to safe places. By that time, many Ukrainians had already left the temporarily occupied territories, so our organization continues to provide humanitarian assistance and work for the sake of Victory and Ukrainians.
While casually studying the analytics, we saw that at the beginning of autumn, a great need for help to Ukrainians began to emerge within the Ukraine controlled territory. Namely, we directed aid activities for IDPs in Zaporizhzhia, and hundreds of refugees from many Ukrainian cities received supplies shipped by our partner Nova Poshta Humanitarian.
Our partners continue to support us while we continue to help refugees in many ways! In autumn, with the financial support of United Help Ukraine, we purchased and provided 70 electric stoves and 30 electric heaters to the displaced persons. What's worth mentioning is that United Help Ukraine assisted us in providing aid to Ukrainians in the occupied territories by supplying us with wheat, which we processed into flour.
In January 2023, with the financial support of Razom for Ukraine, we purchased and provided more than half a thousand blankets to refugees from the temporarily occupied territories.
Also, together with Razom for Ukraine, a hundred members of fallen Ukrainian soldiers families were provided with warm blankets, charging devices for the shelters, and, which is the most important, Razom for Ukraine was also with us and contributed to our activities behind enemy lines while helping Ukrainians in the occupied territories.
So in case you were wondering if we had support or could any of the mentioned organizations recommend us? The answer is — YES. We value our partnerships, work as transparently as possible, and our reputation means a lot to us!
We constantly study the problems and needs of IDPs, and give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the main necessary things according to the opinion of the refugees themselves (January 2023).
We can see that the need for blankets is at an all-time low after our assistance. But the demand for hygiene, power banks, and bedding is consistantly high. That's why we are determined to open a bedding and other knitted products factory for refugees. All this requires financing for renting premises and wages. Therefore, we are opening proposals for future partners to finance such significant projects. We also accept proposals from foreign organizations, which we will consider and make maximum efforts to implement.
P.S. The the IDPs needs study was implemented in three stages: at the first stage, refugees were given the opportunity to write about their needs in an arbitrary form through Google-forms; at the second stage, we conducted a survey where IDPs could prioritize the importance of one or another assistance, the options of which were determined by the answers from the first stage study; at the third stage, the interviewee had to describe how the help they chose would solve their problem. You should see such results thanks to these three stages. The methodology was designed by an analyst with research experience the ACTED organization, and has completed studies in analytics at the United Nations.
