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 traditional Christmas Eve plate doesn’t have to stay empty at all this year….
7 different stories – each seemingly with no way out, a lost cause. Behind each are thousands of people who, like our protagonists, have been brought to the ultimate brink of hunger, poverty, cruelty, rejection and a life without hope.
Huruma (5 months old), Grandma Antoinette (85 years old), Zoia (58 years old), Celine (25 years old), Marcel (85 years old), Rachi (18 years old), Dave (29 years old) – we met each personally in different parts of the world. We introduced them to you and, little by little, you began to balance out the great losses in each story. Today, thanks to you, we are restoring life in them, providing care, security, work, dignity and the chance to build their future.
Each of your gestures and open hearts is the essence of embracing a guest, without which there is no Christmas Eve. It is a plate waiting for a guest who is ‘different’. Today at the Good Factory, we dream of having a Christmas Eve Plate of Good on every table on this one day of the year. It is not only an invitation for our charges to take an empty place at the table, but also real help, tailored to their needs. It is about restoring our charges’ hopes, dreams and faith in one more Christmas.

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 […]

– Hello! Bakhmut here. Could you help us again? – What do you need? – Everything. No one’s been here since your last visit. Jan, head of our office in Dnipro. Our eyes and hands. He comes from Slavyansk. The front line passes through his family home today. Jan doesn’t theorise, he doesn’t say what […]
