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!

Krysia thought she knew what war was. Shots had been heard in Donetsk since 2014. Everyone, however, had become accustomed to the exchange of fire. Over time, the gunshots became one of the background sounds of daily life. On the 24th of February 2022, Krysia realised that she still knew nothing about war.
“It was a horror. I don’t want to remember it. Everything was shaking, everything was burning.”
Krysia didn’t know where to run, so she stayed. She tried to get used to it, but you can’t get used to such terrible sights and fear. In mid-August, there was no electricity, no water, no food. She heard about yet another evacuation. She no longer hesitated. She made it to Dnipro.
She still doesn’t know where to go or what will happen next, but she feels safe. Everything she owns fits together with her two children on two joined beds. Apart from the peace, food and care she receives at the temporary stay point, she wants nothing at the moment.
At the Good Factory, we always focus on people, not numbers. We listen to them and tailor our aid for them. By supporting the Dnipro temporary stay points, we reach out to the most deprived who had nowhere to run and no means of paying for it. Donate a meal to Krysia and help her feed her children.Krysia thought she knew what war was. Shots had been heard in Donetsk since 2014.

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 […]
