Help Ukraine Now

As a thought leader, Help Ukraine Operation Palyanytsya (HUOP) is implementing experienced-based and collaborative humanitarian solutions to the war now, that will transfer to and create transparent, democratic, and egalitarian systems in a revitalized Ukraine. HUOP is focused on filling gaps in humanitarian aid through, fast action and direct targeting. We don’t build bureaucracies nor brands. Instead, we combine international expertise, Ukrainian grassroots leadership, innovation and technology to get the job done rapidly and in the most effective manner possible. That is why we are recognized by the Association of Charities of Ukraine as a “Philanthropist of the Year” for our work.

Who We Help

Wars always have the harshest effects on society’s most vulnerable, specifically women, children, the elderly and the disabled. That is why HUOP prioritizes its efforts to assist those segments of the population most in need. Our work focuses on Ukrainians in Ukraine, not abroad.

Women

Conflict exposes women and girls to increased risk of trafficking and gender based violence.

Children

Conflict challenges all family structures leaving children disproportionately affected.

The Elderly

Many elderly people are unable or unwilling to flee. We provide a steady supply of food, someone to talk to, and medical help.

Special Needs

People with a physical or mental handicap are at extreme risk and they often require additional assistance with transportation and medicine.

Impact See more projects

We provide micro grants, materials, and technical assistance directly to partners. Why? Because we know Ukraine based on over 20+ years’ experience. It’s the absolute fastest way to help with the greatest impact. Many of these goods are available commercially but due to the shrinking of economy, core needs including shelter, food, medicine and hygienic products are sometimes scarce. That is why we have partnered with suppliers and shipping companies to bring those needed items to our partners on the ground. Our partners are vetted and reliable which means aid gets where it is needed faster.

Wars and conflicts always have the harshest effect on the most vulnerable including women, children, the elderly and the disabled. That is why those are the people we are focusing on for assistance as they flee conflict to seek security and relief.
