Winter relief for Kyiv’s elderly: 300 Warm Help Boxes
For many older people in Kyiv, winter blackouts are life-threatening.
Donate & share to help us reach €40,000.
This winter in Ukraine, everyday necessities like heating, electricity, and even reliable water supply are no longer guaranteed. After severe russian attacks on civilian energy infrastructure, many people in Kyiv are living through long blackouts and freezing conditions. Ukrainians remain resilient but for elderly people, the cold and darkness are not just difficult. They can be life-threatening.
Many older residents live alone, have limited mobility, and cannot reach support points like the “Points of Invincibility” or “Resilience Centers” provided by the state. Without stable access to information and help, they are often left isolated and vulnerable during outages.
That’s why Vitsche, together with our partners Starenki and Bravery, is fundraising to deliver 300 Warm Help Boxes to elderly people in Kyiv. Each box provides immediate, practical support and includes essentials such as a hot water bottle, LED lamp/lantern, thermal clothing, blanket, thermos, batteries, candles, and food that requires no cooking or refrigeration (the items included may vary depending on availability and current demand).
In parallel, through Bravery, we will strengthen community access to electricity by installing 3 EcoFlow power stations at points where elderly people and social workers gather, and distribute 500 lanterns that are extremely needed, but are often sold out in Kyiv.
Our fundraising goal is €40,000, covering the boxes, logistics, distribution, and necessary fees. Every donation helps.
