About us

24 February, the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, was a new starting point for each of us. We did not lose our cool, but reformatted our activities and quickly adapted to the new realities.

We did everything we could to bring help closer:
– We provided humanitarian aid to 6 regions affected by the full-scale war and legal advice to about 1,000 IDPs;
– co-founded the RISE Ukraine – Coalition for Reconstruction coalition and joined the RRR4U consortium;
– started cooperation with 3 new donor organisations;
– engaged in international advocacy for increased financial assistance to Ukraine on favourable terms;
– analysed the experience of rebuilding 20 countries that suffered destruction to use it for the restoration of our country;
– Together with our partners, we resumed the implementation of eBill of Lading.

All of this is thanks to our defenders, who give us the opportunity to contribute to the victory!
