URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED: HELP US PROTECT VULNERABLE UKRAINIANS

We need your help so we can continue our life-saving efforts in Kherson, Donetsk, and other frontline areas. Join with us by donating today.

EVACUATING THE MOST VULNERABLE FROM DONETSK

Elderly and disabled people from villages under threat of occupation or destruction are in need of evacuation. And those who cannot flee are in need of medication, food, and water.

EMPOWERING WAR WIDOWS IN LVIV

The lives of women who have lost husbands and children are being transformed by the Women’s Empowerment Center in Lviv through mental wellbeing courses, counseling, and small business training. LHI’s Women’s Shelter in Lviv continues to thrive, accommodating more and more women fleeing from frontline areas.

LIFELINES FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN IN KHERSON AND KHARKIV

Kherson and Kharkiv are constantly under threat and schools there have been virtual since the full-scale invasion. Residents need the lifeline of education activities, therapy support, and workshops provided by our 6 community centers.

CRITICAL MEDICAL AID

LHI’s teams in Ukraine provide support for hospitals throughout Eastern Ukraine. These frontline hospitals treat civilians wounded from shrapnel. Perform major surgery in the dark. And have rebuilt after being looted and attacked. We provide vital medical aid like surgical instruments, operating tables, blood analysis machines, laparoscopic equipment, autoclaves and air sterilizers, and more.

URGENT AID TO FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES

We sustain frontline communities with weekly aid distributions to villages that are cut-off from supply-lines. Our teams adapt to shelling, damaged roads, and weather in real-time to reach these isolated communities in Eastern Ukraine. We deliver loaves of fresh bread, boxes of food, bottles of water, blankets, hygiene supplies, and clothes. We also bring a physician who provides medical consults and dispenses medicine.

SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL HEALING

Civilians have been caught in the crossfire. We see a huge unmet need to help children and adults process the immense trauma, grief, and loss they have experienced. Our 7 Community Centers across Ukraine—from Lviv to Kherson to Kharkiv—provide healing therapy and social-emotional support. This kind of mental health and psychological support is an essential part of an emergency response.

EMPOWERING OUR UKRAINIAN TEAMS

Through our operating centers with local Ukrainian partners, we empower Ukrainians who show up everyday to make a difference. The flood of need seems unstoppable, and we help our teams overcome burnout. We share best practices, provide expertise to maximize impact, and increase capacity across our network. Helping the helpers is some of the most valuable humanitarian aid work that we do.
