Humanitarian aid in hard-to-reach communities in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions

On every trip, we see the same thing: eyes that are waiting. Not for miracles, but simply for warmth and ordinary human care. And that is exactly what we try to bring along with our humanitarian aid.

As part of the Rise for Help project, we traveled to the most remote corners of Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions — where roads are washed out, electricity disappears for long periods of time, and aid hardly ever reaches. But people are there. They are waiting. And they deserve support.

We brought: – Energy kits for large families: power banks, blankets, thermoses, flashlights, and even Twister — because warmth and a little joy should be close at hand; – WASH kits and warm blankets for people with disabilities; – Assistance for single parents — to stay connected, even when darkness surrounds them.

💬 “This category of people with disabilities is not fully protected, so any kind of help is relevant. Especially now,” says Viktoria Lavrova, deputy head of the Shyroke community.
💬 “This is the first time such assistance has been provided, which is very necessary for people when there is no light,” adds Yulia Ivanivna, a social work specialist at the Raivska village council.
💬 And the head of the Lyubyanskyi starosta district, Lyudmila Grechko, says sincerely: “Everyone is tired of the situation. People need support. And caring for them is our sacred duty.”

We cannot change everything at once. But we can be there for them. And we will be 🫂

Together with you — together with Rise! 💙💛
