Critical Hygiene Items Delivered to PokrovskAbout 50km from the frontline, people in Pokrovs'k, Donetsk region, struggle with water supplies every day. Families with disabled children and those in need received hygiene items and baby formulas.
The campaign was run by Run by UkraineNow , Blueboard, Liutyi, The Shield.
Pokrovs'k is a city in the East of Ukraine that has been greatly affected by the war. Many settlers from the currently occupied territories have come there, looking for safety and hoping to return to their homes once the war is over.
However, as the town is constantly under shelling, they lack basic necessities like water and hygiene items. This is a challenge for families with children and those with special health conditions.
Our partner, the social organization The Shield, works in Pokrovs'k to help vulnerable members of the community get access to those essential goods.
We joined efforts with the Liutyi Charity Foundation to buy and deliver hygiene items and baby formulas to those people.
The purchase was enabled by Blueboard, a US-based company that donated a significant amount to fund the delivery.
The purchase was made by volunteers of UkraineNow in the city of Dnipro to ensure that the products reached the recipients in a timely manner.
The delivery of the humanitarian aid was handled by CF "Liutyi". This was not an easy task as the volunteers faced many dangers during the delivery process. Given the proximity to the frontline zone, the volunteers had to be extra cautious to ensure their safety.
Upon arrival in Pokrovs'k, the hygiene items and baby formula were distributed by the "The Shield" organization.
"The Shield" handed out assistance to single mothers, families with many children, the elderly, and the disabled. These individuals face a range of challenges, from physical disabilities to financial hardships. The war has made those challenges even harder.
Many have had to flee their homes due to the war and are struggling to rebuild their lives in a new city.
One of the individuals who received hygiene items was Alina, a 27-year-old girl who requires assistance with eating and daily tasks. Her father recently had a stroke, and her mother is constantly by her side, providing care and support.
Hygiene items and baby formula are a regular need for those living in Pokrovs'k, as the city experiences significant challenges with water supply. In Pokrovs'k, volunteers met a displaced family from a currently occupied city with seven children who require assistance.
Sometimes there is no water for a week, making it difficult for families to maintain adequate hygiene. Even simple items like wet wipes become critical.
The success of this humanitarian project would not have been possible without the support of donors. The generosity and dedication of the employees of the US-based company Blueboard has made a significant difference in the lives of the people our partners "The Shield" support.
The volunteers are grateful for the opportunity to serve those in need and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the community.
Our focus is on providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, evacuation of women, children, and vulnerable people from the war zone, and improving living circumstances of Ukrainians affected by war.
We also frequently partner with organizations and volunteers in Ukraine to help them make their impact in a matter of weeks instead of months.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, UkraineNow has brought together more than 2,000 volunteers across 20 different nationalities and a variety of languages. Additionally, UkraineNow was supported by multiple companies.
UkraineNow is an initiative of a US-based 501c3, IRS-approved non-profit organization Radical Philanthropies, created in 2020 by Artur Kiulian.
