Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.
Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.
Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.

This morning, suddenly everything in the world changed before our very eyes. Again. Since the end of the World War II, the threat has never been so close. Our neighbors are suffering. We do everything to answer their needs.
“Help Ukraine!” – that’s the name of our fundraiser for humanitarian aid to victims of the armed conflict started by Russia. We started it just a few hours after the first missiles hit cities like Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kramator. The goal of the fundraiser isn’t specified yet. However, we are in constant contact with the places affected by the military actions. We want to help, but we want our help to be as precise as usual; we want it to reach those who need it the most. Just like we’ve been working for years in the Congo, Greece, Rwanda, Burkina Faso and Bangladesh. We need time to understand the needs in order to meet them as well as we can. Our contacts in Ukraine have no doubts that they need help from their friends, but they also ask us for time to assess the situation. We don’t want to send just anything abroad. We want to be ready for a specific request for help, so we can act immediately and with precision.
We are gathering a database of possible accommodation for the migrants, as well as offers of help and job offers for them. People who decided to stay in their motherland, to stand up and fight or support those who fight – we are waiting for information about their needs. You can be sure that the money from the “Help Ukraine!” fundraiser will end up where it’s needed the most – like it has been every time in the 7 years of Good Factory’s existence.

To our questions about estimated casualty numbers, the most common answer is: “A lot! On both sides!”. Exactly how many no one knows, because getting aid to the occupied territories is like asking the aggressor for an open day in his trenches. On the 11th of June, the Russians fired on a boat with civilians […]

What if this was your neighbourhood? If, between the billowing smoke, you spotted the ruins of the grocery store where you had shopped since you were a child? To which your mother would still send you with a list written in pencil on a piece of paper so you wouldn’t forget anything? Bachmut had more […]
