You might think that heat and electricity are basic needs – and they are. But last winter, russian strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure forced many to make do without. That's why we are turning our 2 rescue centers into Winter Warming Hubs, where families find refuge and children can learn and grow in safety, have a hot meal – and stay warm.
2
in the Kyiv suburbs of Irpin and Hatne autonomous hubs with bomb shelters open 24/7
2,000
can be served daily in two Rescue Hubs with supplies to help keep families warm, emergency care, trauma-therapy and safe beds
Here's how.
Operate 2 Winter Warming Hubs, where people can sleep, study, and get warm
during blackouts.
Complete our center's boiler room to keep our vital services running when the
grid goes down.
Keep disability services open for children while their parents are at work.
Provide accessible transport to our centers for families living in remote areas.
Russian strikes deliberately target critical infrastructure across Ukrainian cities: electricity, heating, and water supply become luxuries, sometimes for days at a time.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians endured last winter in below-freezing conditions indoors, unable to meet their most basic human needs.
That's why we are turning our centers into Winter Warming Hubs, where up to 2,000 families can find refuge to learn and grow in safety – and stay warm.
