NEWS AND EVENTS
Show your solidarity through action
We are Ukrainian civil society organizations that have been conducting humanitarian work in the midst of a full-scale war for almost three years. In 2022 we published our first open letter “If Not Now, When?” to international organizations and donors who sincerely want to help Ukraine. However, we must now acknowledge that sincere intentions and current approaches to providing support are not enough.According to the 2016 Grand Bargain,international donors have committed to localizing 25% of their resources. This is a step that could have a significant impact. But where are the results? The time for discussions and declarations of commitment is long past. Local organizations remain in a position where they must deal with the aftermath of attacks on their territories while simultaneously proving their trustworthiness and the value of their proposals to donors and international organizations.

A WOMAN WITH TRIPLE HAPPINESS. Stories of humanitarian aid recipients from ShelterBox.
• On the second day, rockets flew towards Kyiv again, passing by my house very low. The house isn't very sturdy, let's say, and the shelling damaged the roof. Our soldiers shoot down the rockets, but you understand, the explosions are strong and usually happen nearby, unfortunately. The asbestos or something cracked, or it slid down.
