Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Distribute Aid has built a Ukraine Response Project to support emergency relief groups in Ukraine and the bordering regions including Poland, Moldova, and Romania.

What has this project achieved so far?

• We have coordinated 10 end-to-end shipments of requested critical aid to groups in Moldova and Ukraine.
• Via extensive outreach, we have gained an overarching understanding of the different aid groups across regions, what they provide, and their capacity.
• We have connected aid groups and put them into contact with each other to collaborate and organize efficient resource sharing such as:
  • Sharing transport options
  • Sharing of material aid
  • Sharing storage space

We have a growing understanding of the needs of individual groups, allowing for aid to be matched between sending and receiving groups on a request basis only.

• We have a list of charities that are registered importers; who can assist with current and future aid shipments.
• We have developed a cohesive understanding of the import process and the required certification documents.
• Enabled medium-sized NGOs to gain access to a network of service providers and government entities.

Your donation will allow us to continue to provide support to Ukraine relief responses, such as:

• Supplying groups with extensive guides so as to facilitate the export and import of critical aid across different regions.
• Expanding networks and connections to increase the collective impact and capacity of operations.
• Further our understanding of the real situation on the ground, and create solutions to any inefficiencies that may exist.
• Increase our data collection on what the needs of aid groups are, and adapt the supply chain to fit the needs accordingly.
