World HAND International - Humanitarian Action and Development

💧 Water is a Human RIGHT – and so is the access to it!💧 Russia´s targeted destruction of infrastructure, including capacities of water supply and wastewater treatment systems, prevents 35% of Ukraine’s population of access to water. Millions are at risk of consuming contaminated drinking water, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. World HAND International delivers water treatment system generating drinking water to the frontline regions in Ukraine. Each system allows to provide around 50 people daily with drinking water. 💡 We are grateful to CAIRDROP GmbH, whose generous donation supports people in critical areas at the frontlines, allowing for safe drinking water. Thank you, Michael Wilhelm, for meeting with us last weekend on the preparation of your donation´s delivery and for the production of the video manual on its usage. We look forward to our joint mission to reach many more people with safe drinking water at the frontlines in Ukraine. 💡Thank you to Deutsch-Ukrainische Gesellschaft Rhein-Neckar e.V., our trusted partner since 2022, who supported the video making through their wonderful commitment and who support the delivery of the water cleaning system from Germany to the warehouse in Ukraine. From here, our teams and partners take over for the distribution in frontline areas.

1,000 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. 10 years since the war began. 1,000 days of suffering, of loss, of terror. 1,000 days of resilience, unbreakable spirit, and bravery. The people of Ukraine stand, determined. 🤝They stand and we stand with them – for as long as it takes. Shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand. Information on our projects in the frontline areas of Ukraine on our website: https://lnkd.in/epv7Y7Yx 🌐 Want to find out how you can support? Reach out to info@worldhandinternational.org We welcome supporters and helping hands.

I did not dare to accept my thoughts on how it all could develop. 10 years later and 1000 days later it has developed. In ways I didn´t want to think about. In ways it pains to put into words. Dear world. We. Ukraine. Need help. Need peace. Need freedom. We count the days, and so do we count on your support. There is no time to waste, no time to lose when you have a joint goal: FREEDOM. So please, continue your support. Please, understand what this war means to us, to you, to the world. Please go with us – TOGETHER. Thank you for standing on the side of freedom. #ukraine #standwithukraine *Photo taken in 2022, in my beautiful home country Ukraine. Coming back from traveling through it once again.

🌟 Familie als Bildungsort: Tolle Unterstützung durch die Deutsche Telekom Stiftung 🌟 Dank der großartigen Unterstützung der Deutsche Telekom Stiftung konnten wir im Rhein-Neckar Kreis viele geflüchtete ukrainische Familien mit wertvollen Elternratgebern erreichen. Diese Ratgeber, die die Einbindung von Themen wie Umwelt und Mathematik spielerisch vermitteln, unterstützen das Lernen im Familienalltag. Besonders aus psychosozialer Sicht fördern sie das gemeinsame Erleben und Nähe von Eltern und Kindern. Verteilungsstellen waren u.a. Sozialämter, Integrationsbüros, Flüchtlingsunterkünfte und ukrainische Bildungsstätten. Ein herzliches Dankeschön für die wertvolle Zusammenarbeit und die Möglichkeit, geflüchteten Menschen in Deutschland gemeinsam eine unterstützende Hand zu reichen. 🙏

🌟 Exciting News for “Sew Far from Home”! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that our Sewing Centre project, “Sew Far from Home,” has entered a new phase with the generous support of the Eberhard-schoeck-stiftung in the coming months. This initiative, running since spring 2023, provides IDPs (internally displaced people) with mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) while learning valuable sewing skills through our sewing training program. Our beneficiaries, primarily women suffering from trauma, receive training throughout the week. Meanwhile, their children participate in our center’s children’s program, working with psychologists and pedagogues. This holistic approach not only equips participants with new skills but also offers a much-needed mental health boost and occupational opportunities. Everything sewn is distributed to frontline areas, supporting civilians in need. Today, we celebrate the successful completion of the first cohort of trainees in cooperation with the Eberhard-Schöck-Stiftung. Thanks to the continued support, we look forward to extending this impactful project into 2025. A heartfelt thank you to our partners and supporters Eberhard-schoeck-stiftung for making this possible. Together, we are making a difference! #MentalHealth #IDPs #Ukraine

❄ What does it mean to give warmth? (1/Share warmth) Each winter since 2022, hundreds of people along the frontlines seek refuge in our Warming Centres. These Centres offer a safe space with food, drinks, option to stay for a few days, and essential first aid support from psychological professionals. A space, for those who feel unsafe in their own homes or seek connection and exchange with others in the same situation. “There are many reasons why people stay in these heavily affected areas. Each reason is valid. Many see no other option, and many simply cannot leave. Everyone stays as long as they choose to, both in these areas and in our Warming Centre.” Lydmila M., Administrator of a WHI Warming Centre somewhere* in Donetsk region. *non-disclosure due to safety reasons 🎯In collaboration with local authorities and communities, World HAND International establishes and provisions these Centres in critical regions. 980 days of draining war, with large parts of Ukraine´s energy infrastructure destroyed, and with the cold months set in, the need for safe spaces in frontline regions is more urgent than ever. And so we do what we can to offer those, as long as possible. We are committed to providing these safe spaces for as long as possible. This is how we give warmth. ❓ How do you share your warmth?

❄️ Winter is coming ❄️ Thousands of households on the front lines in Ukraine are facing the harsh reality of another winter with damaged or destroyed homes and a strained energy infrastructure due to large parts of it destroyed. With winter temperatures rapidly approaching, early interventions are critical to provide warmth, safety, and dignity for those most affected by the ongoing conflict. The devastating effects of war, coupled with lost livelihoods, have left many vulnerable. Your kind support can help ensure that families in Ukraine are not left alone in the cold this winter. 💙 Support our winterisation projects and learn more about how you can help here: Winterisation | World HAND International - Humanitarian Action and Development https://lnkd.in/e7GR-gW5
