Humanitarian aid, support for women's initiatives, psychosocial support, and combating violence.
When the world around us is falling apart - due to war, illness, or a life crisis - what people need most is the feeling that they are not alone. At Zaporuka, we believe in this: even in the darkest moments, you can maintain your dignity if you have those who see, hear and support you. That's why we work with families who have lost their homes, stability, or sense of security in their lives.
Our projects are not just «humanitarian aid.» We stand alongside Ukrainians from frontline cities and affected communities. We strengthen communities, shelters, and crisis centers—places where those affected seek support and the resources to keep living.
1. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 1500 familiesaffected by the hostilities received food and hygiene kits in the communities of Kyiv, Cherkasy and Poltava regions. The assistance was provided in as part of the RELIEF project in cooperation with the Soleterre Foundation and funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).
2. 20 municipal institutions (shelters, hospitals, paramedic stations, mobile teams) were provided with medicines, hygiene and household items. We carried out repairs worth more than UAH 6 million. This significantly improved the conditions of stay and work in these institutions.
3. Within the project "We are capable of it" 6 women's organizations in 3 regions (Lviv, Cherkasy, Poltava) have been strengthened with resources and expertise, and are now independently and effectively supporting women in their communities. The project was implemented with the technical support of UN Women in Ukraine and funded by the United Nations Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF).
4. 200 womensurvivors of domestic violence received professional psychological and legal support within the project "Breaking the silence" with technical support from UN Women in Ukraine and funding from the UN Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF).
