Securing a Reliable Transport
For this mission, we acquired a large Opel Movano bus—though slightly damaged, it was still highly functional with a reliable engine and ample cargo space. This vehicle would not only carry humanitarian aid but also continue serving communities in Ukraine.
Gathering Essential Supplies
Our journey began with a visit to several shelters for Ukrainians in Germany, where we collected essential life supplies.
Donations came from multiple storage points, generously contributed by people from Germany, Kleve, Nijmegen, and surrounding villages and cities. We carefully compiled a comprehensive package of humanitarian aid, weighing a total of 1.3 tons, which included:
- 55 Bags/boxes of humanitarian aid (clothes, coverlets, shoes, etc.) – 640kg
- 24 Packs of washing powder (9kg each) – 240kg
- 12 Boxes of shampoo – 140kg
- 5 Packs of bed linens and pillows – 40kg
- 6 Boxes of cooking pots and dishes – 180kg
- 2 Mattresses – 40kg
Journey to UkraineWith the Opel Movano fully loaded, Dmytro embarked on the long journey from Nijmegen, Netherlands, to Kyiv, Ukraine.
He drove through the night, successfully crossing the border and delivering the much-needed aid to the capital.
Distribution Across Regions
In Kyiv, the supplies were received by Yaroslav and his dedicated team of volunteers. They quickly organized further distribution, ensuring that aid reached those in need across Poltava, Kyiv, various shelters, Donetsk, and Kharkiv.
Proud Collaboration and Future Missions
This mission was another testament to the power of international collaboration, showing how collective efforts make a significant impact.
We are incredibly proud of everyone involved—from donors to drivers and volunteers—who made this humanitarian aid delivery possible.
With many more people in Ukraine struggling to survive under current conditions, we remain committed to organizing monthly (and sometimes bi-monthly) deliveries.
Your continued support helps us extend our reach and provide even more assistance to those in need.
Join us in making a difference—every contribution counts!
