Humanitarian Welfare

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 Defenders’ Aid focuses on supporting Ukrainians thriving for freedom, humanitarian aid 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.

UHU also supports sustainable projects for the long-term benefit of the Ukrainian people. In the spring of 2023, United Help Ukraine and a partner organization supplied 1,166 kits full of fruit and vegetable seeds to residents of liberated territories in the Kharkiv region. Each kit contained a dozen seed packets to help civilians replant crops destroyed by Russian occupiers.

“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.

Other Initiatives Under the Humanitarian Welfare Program

Under the umbrella of humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the United Help of Ukraine supported a lot of regular and one-time projects. As examples of regular projects focused on supporting Ukrainian people in their struggle for freedom, we have: Gifts of hope,  St Mykolay gifts for Ukrainian children in the Oncology Centre, the humanitarian wirehouse. As one-time projects and initiatives, among others, we can mention providing a grant for a new baking oven, supplying live-saving equipment to the Kiev Burn Centre, and creating soap bars to send to the most war-affected Ukrainian regions.
