UAid Direct
To provide direct help to those in Ukraine affected by the war
Our Mission
To provide direct help to those in Ukraine who do not have a choice in war. Our focus is on helping women and children that are often overlooked, neglected, vulnerable and unable to evacuate: orphanages, nursing homes, domestic violence shelters, safe homes and hospitals.
We take food, medicine, hygiene supplies and clothing via the quickest and safest route into Ukraine, often able to deliver within 48-72 hours of receiving an order. As a completely volunteer-led effort, we use 100% of your donations to carry out our mission.
Our Approach
We work in three simple layers:
- Requests, verification and prioritisation. Each request for help we receive is vetted by a dedicated team of four people with direct contacts in Ukraine. We ensure these are highest priority and their need for help is urgent.
- Sourcing and storage. Once verified, each request is picked up by our dedicated sourcing team operating in Przemysl, Poland. We do our best to source from existing donations, but our work relies on your help with both goods and funding.
- Transport and follow up. Once our sourcing team is ready, the goods are labelled and loaded with one of our drivers. We use a network of trusted Ukrainian and international drivers.
About us
