ABOUT PROGRAM

United Help Ukraine’s Humanitarian Welfare Program supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other civilians. We provide food, clean water (especially in besieged areas), and everyday necessities. In addition, UHU distributes power generators and vehicles for first responders and rescuers. Most part of these goods were kindly donated in the U.S. and shipped to Ukraine. While our Defender’s Aid focuses on supporting Ukrainian defenders, the humanitarian welfare program continuously supports the people of Ukraine.

In July 2023, UHU funded the delivery of a mobile blood-collection vehicle to the First Medical Association in Lviv, Ukraine. The nonprofit organization Carter BloodCare of Texas donated this vehicle that enables increasing donations of blood to save the lives of Ukrainian defenders.

“The lifeblood of our nation has always been its people. Our Humanitarian Welfare Program allows us to provide food, water, and other critical supplies directly to those who are most in need so they may continue to survive during this time of war.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.

Project

Transportation Project

“Delivering Lifesaving Vehicles to the Frontlines” Our Mission The mission of United Help Ukraine’s Transportation Project is to support the people of Ukraine—including defenders, volunteers, and civilians—by providing and maintaining emergency vehicles used in the evacuation of the wounded and the delivery of humanitarian aid. The Transportation Project plays a crucial role in expediting life-saving care on the front lines of war. As Ukrainian people face daily attacks, timely evacuation often means the difference between life and death. Why It Matters When seconds count, safe and reliable transportation can mean the difference between life and death. Ukrainian defenders operate under relentless assault—without proper vehicles, wounded soldiers and civilians may not survive the journey to medical care. This project ensures emergency vehicles are where they’re needed most, fully equipped and field-ready. What We Deliver We procure, refurbish, and deliver globally sourced vehicles ready for use across Ukraine. • Ambulances • All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Evacuation Vehicles • Pickup Trucks • Passenger Vans • Cargo Vans & Pickup Trucks What We Do

1. Procurement & Delivery Vehicles are acquired from global donors and vendors, refurbished if necessary, and delivered directly to Ukrainian frontline units, medical personnel, and humanitarian organizations. 2. Emergency Medical Support In collaboration with UHU’s Medical Aid Program, most ambulances are fully stocked with emergency medical supplies. These supplies are sourced through in-kind donations, medical procurement partners, and our logistics network. 3. Repair & Maintenance Network Our network of repair shops—currently in six Ukrainian cities—extends the life of vehicles, saving valuable resources. Repairing three vehicles often costs the same as buying one. 4. Local Economic Support We prioritize working with Ukrainian-owned auto repair businesses, helping keep them profitable during wartime. This supports job retention and economic resilience. 5. Vehicle Donation Program – USA UHU is building a U.S.-based donation pipeline, allowing individuals and businesses to donate vehicles. Who Benefits • Ukrainian Defenders • Wounded Soldiers • Volunteer Medics & Field Hospitals • Civilians in Danger Zones • Autobody Shops and Professionals in Ukraine Challenges We Face • Drones and targeted attacks on ambulances and auto repair shops • Rising repair costs due to extensive damages • Shortage of skilled professionals and auto parts • Constant demand for operational vehicles • The engines, the brakes, and the driving train require maintenance every 3 to 6 months to keep cars running.
