THE SITUATION ON THE FRONTLINE STARTED TO CHANGE.

Evacuation as a direction became irrelevant, and we redirected our resources to more critical directions. The de-occupation of the first settlements began, and delivering humanitarian aid to autonomous regions became crucial.

There was a long mobilization, so the issue of retaining soldiers was critically important. At that time, the Ukrainian army had increased several times, and all the soldiers going to the front were dressed and provided for by volunteers.

Moreover, our experience and contacts allowed us to help other volunteers, so we transferred part of the team to consulting work, sharing our contacts and developments with other volunteer organizations.

Our volunteer experience gained during the first six months of the war, constant updating of our activities, feedback from the military, and continuous cooperation with volunteers from the IT community allowed us to attract significant support from influential international projects and new donors, which elevated the UHF’s activities to a significantly higher level.

During this time, we have gone through the startup phase in 3-4 years.

AT THIS STAGE, WE REALIZED THAT “IMPACT” IS THE METRIC OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR ACTIVITIES’ RESULTS.

We decided to abandon humanitarian aid and volunteer assistance and focus on helping the military and issuing the first grants.

august 2022
september 2022

After going through this process, we realized that we want to develop UHF specifically in the direction of grant activity, where our work results from a measurable outcome or “impact.” The grant program deals with civilian and military topics focusing on long-term changes.

In the future, we will continue to provide necessities to our soldiers on the front line, as we understand the importance of help right now and feel it is the right thing to do.

FIRST GRANT

We have allocated funds to reconstruct homes for families whose homes have been destroyed by the war – this is aid for the low-income civilian population.

september 2022
february 2023

After completing the first grant programs and analyzing their effectiveness, we have decided to continue construction and deliver generators to the front-line and occupied regions, as these issues are some of the most pressing.

We have begun working on rehabilitating and socializing civilians and military personnel so they can return to normal life after the war. Our assistance can significantly improve the lives of Ukrainians.

We also continue to assist the military. Constantly analyzing the situation on the front line and new waves of mobilization, we consider it our duty to continue providing the military with everything that can save their lives.

How we work

  1. We study current problems, methods, and scales of their solution by other volunteer organizations and the impact our help can bring.
  2. We create a project and a work plan in Miro. We gather information about the need for assistance and process it.
  3. We outline all project details, necessary implementation actions, possible obstacles, plan timelines, logistics, and budget. We break down all the information into separate tasks and enter it into Asana.
  4. We present the project to donors and receive financial or other assistance.
  5. We communicate with recipients to prepare and sign documents regarding assistance.
  6. We organize logistics.
  7. We create a retrospective of the effectiveness of the provided assistance and analyze the results to improve processes in the future.
  8. We publish reports on the assistance provided on our social media, website, and through media.
