Helping the people of Kherson
We’re an official non-profit based in Ukraine, supporting most vulnerable groups of civillians in Kherson oblast since 2022
We founded this NGO when invading russian forces came to our home of Nova Kakhovka. While this part of the region is still occupied — we’re continuing to work for and with the people of Kherson, through occupation, liberation, daily ongoing attacks and (hopefully near future) rebuilding!
A tight-knit network of volunteers, locals that deeply care about their homeland and do all the work pro-bono — is what defines our uniqueness
With multiple NGO and corporate partnerships worldwide, transparent reporting and on the ground impact — we’re are your trusted partner and friend in Kherson
Updates on our work
We bring most critical supplies directly to hands of these who need it most
Our team on the ground regularly analyzes the humanitarian situation. This allows us to have a clear focus on what is most vital and will bring maximum value
Support our ongoing missions in Kherson!
Share the Light: antiblack out kits for families
One kit = $13
800 kits distributed
Goal: $20 000
As russians continue to destroy critical infrastructure, most of Kherson’s oblast homes have little to no electricity, at times for weeks. The kit includes solar panel, powerbank and a light
Share the Care: first aid kits for civillians
A first aid box = $11
380 kits distributed
Goal: $15 000
On average, every day over 5 civillians are injured or killed in Kherson. Our aim is for every family to have a first aid kit ready to go, if their loved ones need aid, until medics arrive
Emergency fund:
for families who've lost homes
Grants of $50-100
Over 200 grants awarded
Goal: $60 000
Destruction and shelling of a home leave families without pretty much anything. This one-time grant allows them to purchase food and priority supplies to get through
Our principles focus on providing most vital aid directly to the people
We channel international aid to Kherson region and ensure that 100% of the donations end up making impact on the ground. As we’re a small and local NGO — we strive to keep every donor updated on how their money supported the locals — see regular updates on our Facebook page here or reach out directly
