Fighting crises

We take action wherever it is necessary, therefore, in November 2021 we opened the Humanitarian Aid Point in Michałowo in response to the dramatic situation at the Polish-Belarusian border. For 85 days of its activity, the Humanitarian Aid Point provided volunteers and activists working to help refugees stranded in the forests of the Polish-Belarussian border zone with 17,000 food supplies, over 40,000 medical items, over 2,500 items of clothing, including shoes, and over 1,500 camping items.

We also took immediate action after Russia’s brutal attack on Ukraine and purchased medical equipment for our neighbours. Until November 2022 we have pledged over PLN 23,000,000 to aid Ukraine. We bought devices and disposables for Ukrainian hospitals as well as Polish medical facilities admitting refugees. We purchasaed – among others - heart monitors, ventilators, anaesthetic machines, oxygen concentrators, pulse oximeters, USG, ECG, professional first aid kits, and we also delivered wheelchairs.

Until November 2022, we have supported 19 medical facilities in 15 different locations in Ukraine: Uzhhorod, Rivne, Ternopil, Lutsk, Chervonohrad, Novovolynsk, Kyiv, Odesa, Yavoriv, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Kharkiv.

In March 2022, we have teamed up with the Warsaw City Council to establish a shelter for Ukrainians arriving at the Warsaw East railway station. We ran the second aid point on the border crossing of Shegini, where many Ukrainian refugees were fleeing to Poland.

An ambulance for Kharkiv

Upon the request of the Kharkiv ambulance station, we purchased a fully-equipped type B ambulance. The purchase of the ambulance was made possible thanks to the generosity of the UPS Company and tennis player Hubert Hurkacz. The total value of the vehicle, including its equipment, is PLN 684,972.49. We delivered the ambulance to the Polish-Ukrainian border for a handover on 16 November 2022.
