It has happened. Today a Russian rocket fell in Dnipro right next to our friends. “The explosion was so big that after a while my ears started bleeding. I was standing 300 m from the spot,” says Jan, our co-worker. Five people were killed in the explosion that destroyed the apartment block. 27 were injured, another 20 were evacuated from under the rubble and the rescue operation is ongoing. Jan is on the scene helping the injured.
An elderly woman stands in a red jacket, supported by two men in front of the rubble where her son died. She shouts to the cameras: “Why, why! We welcomed you [the Russians] as friends! What are you doing this to us for! I curse you to the seventh generation!” Helplessness, despair and anger mix in her every word. These are emotions that, like rocket blasts, have been tearing apart the psyches of Ukrainians for almost a year now.
Our friends with whom we work, delivering aid to the most dangerous areas, today found themselves at the very centre of hell. Everything is missing. There is no electricity, no water, sirens are still going off. More rockets are flying. Jan and the entire Good-Factory team from Dnipro are on the scene of the explosion. They are helping. And you can too!
Supporting the Warm Package is very concrete help. It’s warm blankets, sleeping bags, food, cookers, radios and paraffin lamps. Anything that helps you survive without energy, heat, water and communication with the world.

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 […]
