Project budget: 528 537€

As a result of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in February 2022, more than two million housing units were damaged or destroyed. The war also triggered mass displacement – as of April 2024, an estimated 3,548,000 people remain internally displaced in Ukraine. Those people need safe and warm shelter to survive the winter hardship. 

Ongoing attacks on the country and its energy infrastructure are worsening already difficult winter conditions. According to 2024 data from OCHA, nearly 14.6 million people in Ukraine require humanitarian aid.

The project aims to ensure minimal safe living conditions in winter 2024/25 for 1594 of the most vulnerable internally displaced people in Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska oblasts, including 511 pensioners, 122 persons with disabilities, 671 women, and 289 children. 

The project targets the most critical areas for winterization support in Ukraine, specifically Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska oblasts, which host the highest number of IDPs. Dnipropetrovska has the largest concentration of collective sites, while Kharkivska faces growing needs due to intensified hostilities and new waves of displacement.

The intervention will provide winterization support to 21 collective sites, focusing on the provision of solid fuel, winter repairs and insulation, repair/upgrade of existing heating systems, as well as provision of solid fuel and alternative heating sources such as infrared heaters, oil heaters, fan heaters, charging stations, and buleryan stoves. Specifically, three collective sites will receive insulation and small repairs.

The project is “Provision of winter repairs and winter NFIs to ensure safe living conditions for 1594 vulnerable displaced persons residing in 21 collective sites in Dnipropetrovska and Kharkivska oblasts.”
