Oops, we did it again! 🤭

Another ambulance delivered to Ukraine. 🚑

After a few days on the road from Switzerland, we reached our destination and handed it over to @samooborona.lviv.

It wouldn’t have come together without the support of Vindobona Foundation, who financed the ambulance, and Hilfe für die Ukraine 8484 - an incredible logistics partner who kept the convoy moving all the way to Ukraine.

This one had a lot of moving pieces, quite literally. Thanks to a real team effort and everyone involved, we can proudly say: Mission accomplished ✅

P.S. Swipe for the end-of-the-road smile 😁

🤝 A few weeks ago we shared a post about Team Building session we ran for @on employees.

Today, we’re excited to show not only the result of their work, but also the fact that their creation has already reached the people who need it most.

🚚 First 100 IFAKs (Individual First Aid Kits) have arrived to Lviv State University of Life Safety @ldubgd_ukraine with last-mile delivery carried out by @moveukraine The IFAKs will be used for training future rescuers. #ZhdU #IFAK #FirstAid #RescueTeam #TeamBuilding

Zürich hilft der Ukraine (ZhdU) was born in the first days of the full-scale invasion as a spontaneous grassroots effort. A few strangers met online and, from a place of urgency and heart, decided to act for Ukraine.

Four years later, we’re proud of what this community has built: a growing network of targeted support connecting Switzerland and Ukraine. A bridge built on trust and collaboration.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of sponsors, institutions, hospitals, partners, and individual supporters. Thank you for standing with us!

If you’d like to support (every bit matters):
❤️ Like, 💬 comment, and 🔁 share (it really helps our reach)
📣 Spread the word about ZhdU
🏥 If you know an institution with surplus equipment, we’d love an introduction
👥 If your company is open to purpose-driven team building, let’s talk
💙 And if donating feels right for you, it helps us keep going

This post is a small summary of what ZhdU has done over the past four years, and a reminder that we’re here to continue.

Someone has just received their very first package 👶

As a consequence of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the rate of premature births has increased. What should be a moment filled with pure happiness has, for many families, become a joy overshadowed by stress and uncertainty.

We don’t want it to be this way. That’s why @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine, in collaboration with the organization @ranni_ptashky, is delivering bundles of warmth to help premature babies and their parents get through those fragile first days surrounded by care and comfort.

Join us and let us send a package on your behalf. With just 50 CHF, you can help ensure these little ones are welcomed with warmth, care, and a sense of safety.

At the end of December, we sent our ninth and final truck of 2025 with humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Thanks to the generosity of @psychiatrische_dienste_aargau, the truck carried 25 medical beds, which we delivered to three hospitals in Odesa, Sumy, and Poltava. These beds will give patients greater comfort and support medical staff in their daily work.

Thank you for this meaningful donation 💙💛

Did you know Team Building can support Ukraine?

In November, @on employees came together with @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine to prepare IFAKs — life-saving first aid kits used daily by emergency responders in Ukraine.

In one day, 100 people assembled 300 IFAKs. 💪

The kits are already in use in Ukraine.
Thank you to everyone involved 💙💛

Spital Zollikerberg @spitalzollikerberg was one of our first partner hospitals and since 2022 it has donated tonnes of medical supplies for which we provided transportation to Ukraine.

Yesterday, Zurich hilft der Ukraine and Zollikerberg team worked on loading another 3-tonne truck with medical mattresses, beds, trolleys, wheelchairs, etc.

In times of uncertainties, we believe that it's crucial to maintain reliable partnership and continue to support the healthcare 💙💛

On Monday, February 24th, marking the third year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we gathered in Zurich to deliver a strong message of unity and unwavering support for Ukraine. 🇺🇦
The solidarity demonstration, organised by @helvetiaforukraine and @real_ukrainianswitzerland , took us from Helvetiaplatz to Rathausbrücke, where we stood together in solidarity. 🇺🇦 🇨🇭
We are incredibly grateful for the strong support shown by the people of Switzerland. However, both the Ukrainian Association in Switzerland and Helvetia for Ukraine called for an even greater and more lasting commitment to Ukraine.

The speeches from @luziatschirky, @widmerceline (National Councillor, SP), @perparim.avdili (Municipal Councillor & President of FDP Zurich), and Halyna Petrosaniak (Ukrainian poet, translator, and literary critic) inspired us all to continue the fight for Ukraine.

„It is heartwarming to see Zurich mobilize itself to show what it stands for: solidarity and humanity,“ stated @matteib , ZhdU Co-President.

We were also deeply touched by the voices from Ukraine and the powerful singing performances by Lida Filyevych and Nazariy Sadivskyy.
Although much work remains, we are committed to standing strong in our support. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped carry these messages forward💙💛 All pictures by @denysovaphoto

It's this time of the year again when Zuerich hilft der Ukraine and partners join efforts to gift warmth to Ukrainian babies and their families 🎄

For the third year in row, we are running the project "Fit for Winter" with @ranni_ptashky to provide the winter support packages for prematurely born babies in Ukraine.

The life continues in 🇺🇦 and in the first 9 months of this year over 134,000 babies were born in Ukraine. Among them are nearly 8,500 “early birds”. This winter, they face additional hardship as Russia keeps destroying Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, leaving homes in the dark and cold.

🎁 During last 2 years we supported nearly 500 newborns with essentials for the cold times – blankets, sleeping bags, heaters, clothes, and basic hygiene products. Please help us in supporting even more newborns and their families this year with the donation of 50 CHF:

It is a busy pre-Christmas period 🎄 but time can always be found to do something good. Today, the @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine team shipped our 9th truck of this year with nearly 7 tons of materials. That includes 47 beds generously donated by Geneva University Hospital @hug_ge and some secrets presents which we will reveal later 😉🎁

Yesterday, the ZhdU team received the Order of St. Panteleimon Award as the Swiss organization that made significant contributions to supporting healthcare in Ukraine🏅✨

The Order of St. Panteleimon was established in 2009 by Ukraine’s Ministry of Health to honour prominent individuals for their dedication to healthcare and humanitarian efforts. In 2024, for the first time, the award introduced a category for foreign citizens and organizations.

It is an honour for us to be the first Swiss organization receiving this award. The award event was held at the Embassy of Ukraine in Switzerland which provided us a warm reception.

We believe that it is an award not only for our small team but also for many individuals who have made our mission possible.

Each shipment of medical goods to hospitals in Ukraine involves up to 50 individuals per truck and this unity can be recognized as the modern-day miracle that heals and saves lives. Thank you to everyone who stay united with us all the way long. This award belong to all of you 💛💙

Last Sunday, our Co-President @matteib was honoured to be a guest speaker at @bernhard_theater event focused on the current situation in Ukraine. Alongside fellow speaker Tobias Privitelli, who discussed GICHD’ critical work of demining in Ukraine, @matteib shared insights on @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine ongoing humanitarian projects and mission.

The discussion was moderated by the esteemed war correspondent @luziatschirky, who guided the conversation with engaging and thought-provoking questions. The event closed with uplifting music by the ‚Ukulele Orchestra,‘ adding a hopeful tone to the evening.

Last Saturday, we sent the fifth truck this year from Switzerland to Ukraine and the showering rain could not stop us 💪

We are happy to share that the transport safely arrived to the destination yesterday with nearly 4 tons of medical materials and generators. Within the next few weeks, these will be distributed to the recipients all over Ukraine 🫶

ZhdU continues to source materials from Swiss hospitals and donors to support healthcare in Ukraine. More transport is planned till the end of this year 🚚

“We will never stop fighting for a world where hospitals are safe, where children are protected, and where Ukraine is free.” ZhdU Co-President Mattei Batruch joined the pro-Ukrainian demonstration organised by @helvetiaforukraine, @uvzoverein, @dopomozhemore on July 12 in response to Russian attack on Ohmatdyt hospital. There @matteib gave a powerful speech as a doctor, a colleague and friend of those brave people who faced an unimaginable horror.

Last Monday, the walls of @ohmatdyt, which had witnessed countless renovations since its founding 130 years ago, were stained with the blood of innocents.

That attack was not just an assault on a building; it was an attack on humanity itself.

It was an attempt to break the spirit of Ukrainians and their supporters.

Yet, on that rainy Friday, demonstrators stood united, upholding the principles that bind us as human beings—compassion, dignity, and the inviolable right to life.

On the 8th of July, Russia launched a devastating attack on several major cities in Ukraine.

One of the direct targets was the @ohmatdyt children’s hospital in the centre of Kyiv. At the moment of the attack, there were over 600 people in the hospital.

ZhdU Team member @itsyaezmin, who has been in Ukraine at time of the attacks, promptly made her way to the site to extend the entire ZhdU team’s support.

„The extent of the destruction is beyond our ability to describe in words. It is deeply distressing to learn that a place that primarily cares for children has been the target of such an attack. I am still struggling to comprehend what has occurred in the wake of this tragedy.
I extend my heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved and our partners at Ohmatdyt, and on behalf of the entire ZhdU team, I reiterate our commitment to providing comprehensive assistance during this challenging period.“ - @itsyaezmin

In total 24 departments are damaged: including 10 surgical departments, 5 oncology departments, 3 intensive care units, 2 operating blocks, 2 somatic departments, the radiology department, prenatal care department and the radiation therapy department.

Just a month ago, the ZhdU team visited Ohmatdyt and received a very warm reception. Over the last two years, we’ve built a great partnership, working together on projects like the support of prematurely born babies and rehabilitation of injured children. So, it’s heartbreaking to see our friends and their young patients being attacked, as these children must now fight for their health and survival amid the terror of war caused by russia.

We stay in contact with our friends at Ohmatdyt in case they need our support. By now, the largest needs are in blood donation and finances to rebuild the destroyed facilities. The hospital used to have over 700 beds and treated 20,000 children annually, often handling the most critical cases. Details and links for donation can be found on the social media of @ohmatdyt and @u24.gov.ua.

The @unbroken.ukraine Center is the recipient of our third Sensopro device, sponsored by @heislerluca 🙌

Thanks to Luca and his godmother, this innovative device reached the largest rehabilitation center in Ukraine. ZhdU Co-President @matteib visited the center where he was given a full tour and was free to test the equipment extensively.

@unbroken.ukraine provides a variety of services including treatment, prosthetics, physical and psychological rehabilitation, housing and reintegration.

The centre provides care not only for serving Ukrainians, but also for all civilians 💙💛

***

Meanwhile, ZhdU is keeping track of the @on shoes delivered by us to @superhumans.center in April 🏃‍♂

We are happy to see that the shoes are already being used extensively for the therapy and rehabilitation of patients.

We were also able to gain an insight into a variety of new technologies such as their in-house 3D prosthetic printing. Manufacturing locally in the prosthetic laboratory enables quick usage and provides children and adults a chance for living a decent life.

We are proud to make a contribution to these superheroes 🦸

The cold months are over, and we are ready to wrap up our signature project "Fit for Winter" with @ranni_ptashky 🐣

🎉 238 "Fit for Winter" support packages were delivered to Ukrainian prematurely born babies to keep them warm during January - April 2024!

🎁 Each 50 CHF package contained a blanket, sleeping bag, warmer, therapeutic toy, diapers, wipes, and baby clothes, mostly from local suppliers.

“I am sincerely grateful to receive such a package, thank you for providing such a wonderful package for our baby. In such a difficult time, it helps our little ones have everything they need to feel warm and protected,” shared a mom upon receiving our support for her newborn 🥰

And we extend those thanks to all our donors and partners for making this project a heartwarming success 💙💛

“I am sincerely grateful to receive such a package, thank you for providing such a wonderful package for our baby. In such a difficult time, it helps our little ones have everything they need to feel warm and protected,” shared a mom upon receiving our support for her newborn 🥰

And we extend those thanks to all our donors and partners for making this project a heartwarming success 💙💛

🏥 Spitäler der Kharkiv Region und Kharkiv selbst gehören zu den überwiegenden Empfängern unserer Spenden.

🚕 Trotz einer erneuten Angriffswelle durch den Russischen Staat, erreichte das @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine Teammitglied Yasmin Urbani, zusammen mit der Organisation @ukrainehilfemitherz , Kharkiv.

📍Es galt der Lieferung Humanitärer Hilfe, sowie der Sicherstellung, dass die gespendeten Güter sicher and der vorgesehenen Destination angekommen sind.

📍Bei der Ankunft im Partnerspital wurde das Team herzlich, durch den Leiter der Kardiologie Abteilung, in Empfang genommen.
Kurz darauf waren wir in der Lage die Betten, welche von uns im Februar 2024 geliefert wurden, zu begutachten.

📍Laut Aussage des Spitales und deren Mitarbeiter sind die Betten und deren zusätzlichen Komponenten von grosser Bedeutung, in deren täglichen Gefecht.

📍Das Spital befindet sich momentan nicht nur im Kampf gegen Russland, sondern auch gegen diverse folgeprobleme wie mehrmals täglich Stromausfälle, Personalmangel und Patientenüberlastung.
Der Mangel an Medikamenten ist eine tägliche Thematik und stetiges Problem.

🙏 Die Wertschätzung, sowie positive Auswirkung der Spenden und Unterstützung ist klar zu erkennen.

***
Hospitals in Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region are the main recipients of our medical donations.

Despite massive russian attacks, the ZhdU team member Yasmin and UkrainehilfemitHerz arrived there last month to deliver humanitarian aid and ensure that the donated goods arrived at the designated location.

Upon arrival at the partner hospital, the team was warmly welcomed by the head of the cardiology department. Afterwards, we were enabled to inspect the beds delivered by us in February 2024.

According to the hospital and its staff, the beds and the additional medical components are of utmost importance in their daily fight.

The hospital is currently not only fighting against the enemy but also against blackouts several times a day, personnel shortages and patient overload caused by the ongoing war. The shortage of medical supplies is a daily issue.

The appreciation and the impact resulting from our donations and support could be clearly seen.

Is it the new workout tutorial for the summer? 🧐

No, it’s better! This is what training sessions look like now for @modrychi patients rehabbing from traumas 💪

The Modrychi Rehabilitation Center is the first recipient of the Luna Physio device produced by @sensopro and delivered to Ukraine by @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine. Since February, Luna has been of great service to local physiotherapists and freshened up the patients’ routines with new exercises.

"The device is of top quality, we use it constantly in our work," says Oleg Masnyy, the Lead Physiotherapist at Modrychi.

Established in 2015, Modrychi has treated over 4 thousand patients spanning all age groups, with around 10% requiring treatment for severe conditions. Currently, Modrychi cares for around 110 patients. The centre often takes the most difficult cases rejected by other clinics and tries to restore patients’ mobility to the fullest extent possible. Through your generous contributions and support, we could provide Modrychi with a device that makes rehabilitation efforts even more effective! Дякуємо 💙💛

ZhdU and @sensopro both have a passion for movement! We move things to where they are most needed. And Sensopro helps people to be on the move with their amazing sports devices 💪

Our paths crossed for the project of strengthening rehabilitation capacities in Ukraine. We could close the fundraising to get 2 Sensopro Luna Physio and deliver them to @modrychi Rehabilitation Centre and @ohmatdyt . More feedback in the next post 😉

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to making this a reality! ZhdU also had a chance to celebrate this moment and visit the Sensopro Team which was very supportive throughout the project.

Here is how Sensopro feels about it:

"We are very happy to have supported ZhdU with our rehab devices. First, we can see that the ZhdU team is extremely passionate about what they do. Second, it's our motivation to support Ukraine and make a meaningful difference. ZhdU does a great job and it was a big pleasure for us to contribute at least a little part."

It's inspiring to collaborate with partners who share the same values and together we will keep things moving forward 💙💛

Heute jährt sich die Eskalation des russischen Krieges gegen die Ukraine zum zweiten Mal. Heute ist es zwei Jahre her, dass Russland beschloss, alle grösseren Städte in der Ukraine anzugreifen und Gräueltaten zu verüben, die uns mit Entsetzen erfüllten. Es gibt keinen besseren Weg, das anhaltende Engagement von @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine zu stärken, als diesen traurigen Jahrestag mit unserem dritten Truck des Jahres unvergesslich zu machen. Danke an die #ZhdU Community, unsere Spender:innen, Unterstützer:innen, Freiwillige und Partner in der Schweiz und der Ukraine.

We started our year productively with 62 support packages delivered to Ukrainian newborns 👶 in January!

Prematurely born babies around Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Kyiv to Zaporizhzhia, from Chernihiv to Kharkiv, from Dnipro to Mykolaiv could stay in warmth with our sleeping bags, heaters, and blankets. The support packages were equipped also with pampers, wipers, baby clothes, and octopus toys. Most items were produced by Ukrainian manufacturers and packed with big love and care by the children’s shop “Ditky” and NGO @ranni_ptashky .

More packages will be sent this February and March thanks to your donations made within our “Fit for Winter” fundraising campaign on @_copalana_ . We could close the target of CHF 10 000 allowing us to continue our support of prematurely born babies in Ukraine 💙💛

New Year, same mission – new ways of supporting #ZhdU and the people of Ukraine. We teamed up with @_copalana_ to fundraise money for our humanitarian work. Our newest fundraiser on the #Copalana Plattform tackles transportation costs of valuable and much needed medical beds for hospitals in one of Ukraine’s most battled city, Kharkiv. We got the beds – now we need financial means to bring them to Ukraine. Please donate!

Kharkiv is the second-largest city in Ukraine, located in the East of Ukraine. The people of Kharkiv faced and are still facing a horrendous bombardment, terror and injured since Russian troops rolled into Ukraine in February 2022.

ZhdU has won the trust of Swiss hospitals and some of them are ready to continuously support Ukrainian counterparts with materials. We take the challenge to organise the transportation of these valuable donations from Switzerland to Ukraine, but we need your help to cover the costs of fuel and the work of drivers. The next dispatch will go from Zurich to #Kharkiv which is 2575 km, help us to overcome this distance by donating!

You’ll find the link with the project description in our link tree and on @_copalana_ 💙💛🚛

All 156 hospital beds entrusted to us by @hug_ge made it to their recipients safely. In partnership with ZhdU, the @hug_ge not only supplied these refurbished beds in perfect condition, but also provided the transport, participated in financing (along with private donors) and logistical support required for this large-scale humanitarian operation.

A special thank you goes out to @samooborona.lviv for being a reliable and amazing partner in Ukraine coordinating logistics, transport and distribution on Ukrainian ground. 💙💛🚛

Thanks to the generosity of Geneva University Hospitals @hug_ge and financial support of donors we were able to bring 156 beds to #Ukraine. Transported in three trucks and are destined for eight Ukrainian hospitals in Lozova, Bogodukhivsk, Vovchansk, Chuguyivsk, Balaklia, Izium, Kharkiv and Lviv they will strengthen medical infrastructure.

Find a link to donation possibilities in the link in bio or on our website www.zhdu.ch. If you’re located in Switzerland you can donate effortlessly via TWINT. Of course you can also make a classical donation via bank transfer. Thank you so much!

#ZhdU Co-president @matteib has both, roots in Geneva and Ukraine. The neurologist worked at the HUG for three and a half years and currently practices at the Balgrist University in Zürich. @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine is grateful for the strong institutional partnerships. “The support of the institution is part of the long humanitarian tradition of HUG and International Geneva,” declared Bertrand Levrat, general director of the cantonal hospital.

We thank all donors, volunteers and supporters of our humanitarian organisation for the love and solidarity! 💙💛🚛

🎄This Christmas, join us in helping Ukrainian babies stay warm! Support our new project #FitforWinter.
🎁 Last year, with support from all across Switzerland, ZhdU together with generous donors and partners provided warmers and baby sleeping bags to 210 Ukrainian newborns in Pokrovsk, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Kherson.
👶 This year, we joined efforts with @ranni_ptashky Early Birds to expand our gift bundle and direct it specifically to babies born prematurely all over Ukraine. Now with the donation of CHF 50, you can support a baby with a bundle containing a warmer, a baby sleeping bag, newborn clothes, diapers, a blanket, a therapeutic toy, and a helpful guide for parents. Most of these items will be sourced from Ukrainian suppliers, contributing to the local economy.

Find a TWINT Code for donation in the carousel or get details for banking transfers in the link in bio. Thank you for your kindness and wishing you a lovely winter season! 💙💛

👶 Dieses Jahr haben wir uns mit @ranni_ptashky zusammengetan, um unser Geschenkpaket zu erweitern und es gezielt an Frühgeborene in der ganzen Ukraine zu verteilen. Mit einer Spende von 50 CHF kannst du jetzt ein Baby mit einem Paket unterstützen, das einen Wärmer, einen Babyschlafsack, Kleidung für Neugeborene, Windeln, eine Decke, ein therapeutisches Spielzeug und einen hilfreichen Leitfaden für Eltern enthält. Die meisten dieser Artikel werden von ukrainischen Lieferanten bezogen und tragen so zur Stärkung der lokalen Wirtschaft bei.

Ob beim Wandern in der #Schweiz, während Road Trips im Sommer, im #Krieg oder nach Naturkatastrophen: Erste-Hilfe-Sets retten Leben. In der Ukraine ist die medizinische Versorgung nicht überall und jederzeit gewährleistet. Sanitäter:innen, die Zivilbevölkerung und die Verteidiger der Ukraine brauchen deshalb weiterhin dringend IFAKs. #IFAK ist ein Akronym und steht für #IndividualFirstAidKit. Es wird mitgeführt, um die wichtigsten Verletzungen oder Todesursachen schnell versorgen zu können und besteht aus zahlreichen Komponenten, zum Beispiel Sicherheitsnadeln, Pflaster, Mullbinden, Schnellverbände, Beatmungsmasken, Handschuhe und einer Schere und mehr. Im Krieg in der #Ukraine sind besonders die Tourniquets zur Blutstillung stark blutender Extremitätenwunden sehr wichtig. IFAKs sind ein essentieller Bestandteil der mediznischen Erstversorgung und Notfallrettung. Mit einer Geldspende an @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine ermöglichst du die Anschaffung von IFAKs und rettest Leben. Mit wem und auf wessen wunderbare Initiative hin wir auf diesen Fotos IFAKs zusammenstellen, erfährst du im nächsten Post. Stay tuned!

Tagelang haben wir die vielen Medikamente sortiert, die wir von grosszügigen Zürcher Apotheken gespendet bekommen haben. Von A wie ACE-Hemmer bis Z wie Zytostatika waren fast alle Medikamentengruppen vorhanden. @itsyaezmin hat die sortierten und beschrifteten Boxen bei @exilberlinoise abgeholt. Heute werden sie in den gelben Sprinter der Basler Initiative @ukrainehilfemitherz verladen und in die Ukraine gebracht. Vielen herzlichen Dank! 💙💛🚛🙏

Wir haben mit @ukrainehilfemitherz zusammengespannt! Yasmin Urbani @itsyaezmin hat gestern etliche Kartons Medikamente bei uns abgeholt. Der Basler Verein fährt regelmässig in die Ukraine. Auf seinen Touren bringt Gründer Marcel Medikamente und medizinische Güter in die Ukraine. Auch Yazmin hat Marcel schon etliche Male in die Ukraine begleitet. Wir wünschen beiden eine sichere Reise.

P.S. Der engagierte Schweizer und seine Frau Michelle bezahlen die Touren in die Ukraine weitgehend aus eigener Tasche und sind dringend auf Spenden angewiesen, um ihre wichtige Arbeit fortführen zu können. Auch @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine hat sich mit einem Beitrag an den Transportkosten der aktuellen Tour beteiligt. Schaut doch bitte auf www.ukrainehilfemitherz.ch vorbei und lasst ein paar Franken für diese wunderbaren Menschen dort. 💙💛🙏

Have you ever heard of #NAFO, the North Atlantic #Fella Organization? It is an Internet meme and social media movement dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The squad of Twitter users who use silly dog memes as their avatars and make life difficult for the Russian propagandists across the internet are doing a great job fighting fake news and dismantling disinformation. Branding themselves as “fellas” of the so-called North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO, not NATO) they have struck upon a funny yet effective way to fight on the information frontlines, while also collecting donations.

We are thankful and proud that we got invited to the Networking Event of the Swiss NAFO #Fellas in order to present our new humanitarian project. Our board members @matteib and @exilberlinoise met the Organisator Philipp (in the middle of the picture, holding our project flyer) and lots of other interesting people this weekend. It’s good to unite the forces and support each other. The fellas were generous and already donated money to support our newest project www.zhdu.ch/rehab. Will you too?

Have you ever heard of #NAFO, the North Atlantic #Fella Organization? It is an Internet meme and social media movement dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The squad of Twitter users who use silly dog memes as their avatars and make life difficult for the Russian propagandists across the internet are doing a great job fighting fake news and dismantling disinformation. Branding themselves as “fellas” of the so-called North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO, not NATO) they have struck upon a funny yet effective way to fight on the information frontlines, while also collecting donations.

«Zuerich hilft der Ukraine ZhdU» startete wenige Tage nach der Eskalation des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine, zunächst als Graswurzelbewegung. Heute setzen wir als Verein und dank starker Partnerschaften mehrere Projekte jährlich um. Unser neuestes Projekt stärkt die Rehabilitationstherapie im Kinderspital @ohmatdyt und dem Rehabilitationszentrum @modrychi in der Westukraine. Warum das nötig ist und wo deine Hilfe wirkt, erzählt Oleg Masnyy. Unser Co-Präsident @matteib besuchte den Leiter des Rehabilitationszentrums kürzlich auf seiner Reise in die #Ukraine.

Dear Ukraine, happy #IndependanceDay! Today you celebrate in commemoration of the Declaration of Independence of 1991. The Declaration established the principles of Self-Determination of the Ukrainian Nation, Rule of the People, State Power, Citizenship of Ukraine, Territorial Supremacy, Economic Independence, Environmental Safety, Cultural Development, External and Internal Security, and International Relations.

The war against Ukraine is cruel not only for its people, but also endangering Independence and Sovereignty of Ukraine. This day reminds us of the importance of civil society and of the need to stand up for Switzerland's humanitarian tradition. It strengthens us in our will to set a visible example of solidarity with the war-affected people of Ukraine.

Today we think of all the people who don’t feel like celebrating. Because they cannot leave the country. Because they suffer from shelling, fear or hunger. Because they are at war, because they are wounded or worse.

Last year Ukrainians showed the world what it means to be strong and brave. There are 44 million people in Ukraine, and many of them are exceptional. That is why we will triumph over injustice. There are fewer people in Switzerland than in Ukraine, but they are just as extraordinary. The Swiss are generous and want to help. We thank everyone who supports us in our humanitarian work so er can ease the pain of those who suffer because of war.

Wo Bomben fallen, gibt es Verletze. Mit deiner Hilfe können wir die Rehabilitationstherapie in der Ukraine stärken! Los geht's! Wie schnell kriegen wir 20'000 CHF zusammen?

Die Schweizer Taskforce zur Unterstützung für das ukrainische Gesundheitswesen, zu der auch @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine gehört,
lanciert ein Hilfsprojekt zugunsten einer Rehabilitationsklinik und eines Kinderspitals
in der Ukraine. Mit der Initiative sollen CHF 20 000 an Spenden für Luna Physio, Trainingsgerät des Schweizer Herstellers Sensopro, gesammelt werden.

An zwei Orten in der Ukraine wäre es von grosser Hilfe: Im Rehabilitationszentrum @modrychi (Truskavets) sowie im Kinderspital @ohmatdyt (Kiew). In Modrychi werden derzeit 110 Patient:innen beherbergt. Das Zentrum ist auf die Rehabilitation nach Hirntraumata, Rückenmarksverletzungen usw. spezialisiert. Mithilfe von Luna Physio werden auch die medizinischen Fachkräfte des Kinderspitals Ohmatdyt in der Lage sein, jährlich fast 10 000 Kindern eine qualitativ hochwertige Rehabilitation zu bieten und die Rückkehr in eine lebendige Kindheit zu ermöglichen.

We delivered wheelchairs to #Modrychi Rehabilitation Center in the city of Truskavets in Western Ukraine last year. This summer, our Co-President Matteï Batruch made a trip to Ukraine. He visited not only our local partner organisations, but also some of the places that are beneficiaries of ZhdU donations (and was even accompanied by a documentary film team). One of them is Modrychi Rehabilitation Center. Currently, it accommodates 110 patients with the goal to restore their mobility at maximum. During his trip @matteib met also with Oleg Masnyy, Head of Medical Rehabilitation in Modrychi. Great news to come! Stay tuned!

The humanitarian help brought by #ZhdU sometimes has different recipients. The last truck was filled with medical equipment. Parts of it where for the Children policlinic number 14 and policlinic number 8 in the City of #Kharkiv. We are happy to see that the support from Switzerland arrived where it’s needed.

The city of Kharkiv is located just 30 kilometres south of the Russian-Ukrainian border and is the second-largest city in Ukraine. It was considered a major target for the Russian military early in the days of the full scale invasion. During the #BattleofKharkiv, at least 606 civilians were killed due to Russian shelling and fighting for the city, Ukrainian authorities said. Places located so close to the frontline need humanitarian help badly. We are happy that we could deliver humanitarian aid from Switzerland that far into the country thanks to great and reliable partners in Ukraine. Thank you 💙💛🚛

Filling up a truck is an emotional task. Knowing about all the different people that contribute to it is insane. The great support from the Ukrainian Embassy in Bern, institutional donors that entrust us with valuable medical equipment, donors that support ZhdU financially, volunteers that donate their time and heart, people that help us gain visibility on social media, partners in Ukraine that help us coordinate logistics and support us with advice and of course the courageous truck drivers.

The people behind ZhdU have regular jobs and regular lifes. We run our association in 100% unpaid voluntary work. You can imagine how challenging it can be. Having a great team is important when operating in an unpredictable field like humanitarian work. Sticking together even when time gets rough made us not only become a resilient team but also become friends.

Every truck send to Ukraine gives us the energy to continue our work. Every truck makes us thankful for your support. We hope you can see this joy in our little reel. Special thanks to @fkdplublin who made these trucks possible.

While our trucks where on their way to #Ukraine, the civilian infrastructure of #KryvyiRih was attacked by Russian missiles and Southeastern Ukraine, where the destruction of the #Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant led to extensive flooding that created an environmental and humanitarian disaster was (and still is!) under water. The #humanitarian crisis in Ukraine gets worse, with hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons that lost home and sometimes more than that. The three trucks we filled up on the 10th of June have arrived safely in Ukraine. The generators are brought to #Kherson where they will provide energy for households, but also soldiers and rescue forces in the flooded region.

The medical aid was delivered to two of our cooperation partners. The #Kyiv based organisation «Children-Victims of the War» @childrenvictims_ofthewar was founded to provide care for war-affected children in the East of Ukraine, displaced families in difficult conditions, large and crisis families, orphanages, boarding schools. The #Lviv based organisation «Samooborona» @samooborona.lviv collects humanitarian aid from abroad and provides aid to the Ukrainian Military, assistance to medical institutions and civilians. Both organisations will distribute the humanitarian aid brought by #ZhdU where it’s needed the most. Special thanks to @fkdplublin that made these trucks possible.

We are happy that all donations have arrived safely in Ukraine and thank everyone that made this possible!

Das ist Generator Man. Der Maschinenbauingenieur hat @zuerich_hilft_der_ukraine bereits 39 (!!!) Stromgeneratoren gespendet. Die letzten zehn haben wir persönlich bei ihm abgeholt. Sie werden in wenigen Tagen in #Kherson ankommen und dort im überschwemmten Gebiet zum Einsatz kommen.

Die benzinbetriebenen Stromgeneratoren ersteigert der Mann, der eigentlich Oliver heisst, online auf Plattformen oder in Foren für Kleinanzeigen. «Die Idee kam spontan, da die Stromversorgung in vielen Gebieten der #Ukraine kollabierte und Stromgeneratoren laut #ZhdU benötigt wurden», so Oliver.

Die Generatoren funktionieren oft nicht (richtig) und weisen leichtere Defekte auf, wie zum Beispiel einen verstopften Vergaser, verstopfte Luft- oder Benzinfilter, ein gerisseses Starterseil etc.
Oliver bestellt die nötigen Ersatzteile, führt die Reparaturen duch, wechselt Öl und Kerze, stelle den Vergaser ein und misst die Ausgangsspannung ohne und mit Last. Zum Schluss montiert er noch Räder, denn die Generatoren sind mitunter bis zu 50kg schwer. Die Generatoren haben ca. 2 – 2.5 KW elektrische Leistung. Eine Anleitung in Englisch und Ukrainisch sowie einige Ersatzteile gibt der engagierte ZhdU-Spender jedem seiner Generatoren mit auf den Weg.

Olivers Solidarität rettet leben. Sie hält warm, liefert Strom für Nahrungszubereitung und Kommunikation. Unter Soldaten sind die Generatoren besonders beliebt. Das haben auch Vertreter der Ukrainischen Streitkräfte erkannt. Zwei verschiedene Einheiten haben dem Generator Man aus Zürich und ZhdU in Urkunden ihre Dankbarkeit ausgedrückt.

Für den Vater zweier Kinder steht der Zusammenhalt in seiner Familie an erster Stelle. Genauso geht Oliver auch sein zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement an: «Die Ukraine veteidigt ihre Freiheit und indirekt auch unsere, daher versuche ich, die Ukraine mit meinen bescheidenen Möglichkeiten zu unterstützen. Mit mechanischen Dingen kenne ich mich aus und kann hier meinen Beitrag leisten». Danke, Oliver!

Sound on! A message in Ukrainian (for English see previous post) from Ukraine! We brought Cardiology and Cardiac Intensive Care Equipment to the National Institute of General and Urgent Surgery to the city of #Kharkiv in Nortneastern Ukraine. The facility in Kharkiv is the only one in the region that provides cardiac surgery care.

Dr. Igor Polivenok, Chief of Cardiac Surgery and Emergent Cardiology and leader of the department, thanks the people of Switzerland, #ZhdU and the volunteers. He explains how the humanitarian delivery from #ZhdU will help people with heart diseases, newborns with heart defects, people that had a heart attack and many more.

The generous donation includes among other items monitors and syringe drivers, both key components for treatment in Intensive Care Units and Post-operative Care. The monitors are used for checking the patient’s vital parameters (heart frequency, oxygen saturation, blood pressure etc.). The syringe drivers are used for the administration of medication in unconscious patients. All equipement was tested and refurbished before sending.

Many thanks to the generous donors of this shipment, including the Canton of Graubünden, Impfzentrum Zug, Dr. Risch Laboratory and the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève @hug_ge, especially the "Service Pôle Humanitaire" for their trust and the "Service Biomédical et équipement" for checking and testing the medical equipment and devices.
