CHF 5,000 of the funds raised through SA2U’s “Gift of Warmth” winter aid campaign was donated to our aid partner Ukraine Alive to provide urgent humanitarian aid in the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. Bakhmut was the epicenter of some of the heaviest bombing and fighting in Ukraine,
With funds generously granted by the Association for the Support of Victims of the Ukraine Conflict (ASVUC), SA2U helped its Swiss-based aid partner Kviten Association purchase medicine for children undergoing intensive care at the Odesa Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital. The medicine was purchased from a local distributor in Dnipro, Ukraine.
SA2U supported Kharkiv-based NGO Help Ukraine Today with CHF 4,300 for the purchase of 7 generators for “points of invincibility” in Kharkiv. The points are shelters for residents, equipped with generators, wood-burning stoves, food and basic medicine. The generators helped keep the shelters warm and running through the winter months.
SA2U donated a total of EUR 3,517 in December 2022 and January 2023 to support “Wintering together,” a project by the Rotary Club New Level Kharkiv with support from Kviten Association. This project provides volunteers in Kharkiv with a warm, safe and inviting community center over the tough winter period.
