Ukraine charities

How to help Ukrainian civilians suffering one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the century? 

Last updated December 4, 2023

There are many ways you can help.

Charities run by friends:

Igor Lubashev (Massachusetts, USA) is raising money for lifesaving equipment for Ukraine as well as for the equipment for Ukrainian children’s education in orphanages and refugee settlements:

I am happy to share our latest project.

Hundreds of children in orphanages and refugee settlements have been displaced by the war and are missing school and other learning opportunities. Worry about their children’s education is one of the very top concerns of the families in refugee settlements — this is one of very few things they can actually control. There are Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking volunteers around the world who are interested to teach the children remotely, but there are very few laptops where the children are.

We have partnered with Earthlings Hub, Kiddo Byte Ukraine, and Ukraine Rescue Fund to send 100 Chromebooks and 120 headsets to the orphanages and refugee centers to allow the children a chance to learn.

Our Chromebooks have been delivered to children in Lviv, Kryvyi Rih, Chernivtsi, and Vinnytsia! Hurrah!

P.S. In the works is delivery of 3000 donated science kits to Ukraine -- the word about us being able to get these projects done gets around. We are happy to help!

P.P.S. We are still helping with our original projects like procuring and delivering fabrics, Velcro-like tape, and webbing for vests and other lifesaving equipment.

Please continue helping Ukraine and Israel: contact your elected officials

Those of us who live outside of Ukraine can help Ukraine by writing, calling or emailing our elected officials, urging them to continue help...
