On the 24th of February 2022, Russia launched a military offensive into Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and destroying the country’s infrastructure. More than a quarter of the population has been forced to flee their homes. In the first few weeks, more than 4.3 million refugees fled Ukraine, and a second as many were internally displaced. It is the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II.
We cannot be indifferent to the suffering of our neighbours – we immediately set out to help!

The dust has settled after the rocket explosion in Dnipro. The topic has faded from the headlines although the rescue operation is still ongoing. The search for 20 people is still ongoing. 44 people have died, including several young children. Media interest is waning, but the need has not lessened. There are more and more of them.
Jan, the head of our team in Dnipro is coordinating the work on the ground. Together with the Good Factory team, we are organising psychological support and supplying immediate response tents with medication. Our team visits the residents of the four neighbouring buildings affected by the explosion. They have no windows, but the entire neighbourhood is also without electricity, gas and mobile coverage.

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 […]
