Mondo works to ensure safe and warm living conditions for internally displaced people in frontline regions of Ukraine during the winter.

Ukraine enters the 2025–2026 winter facing structural energy deficits, widespread infrastructure damage, low gas reserves, and serious risks to essential services. People in frontline areas and among internally displaced populations are especially vulnerable. 

Continued attacks on critical infrastructure are expected to significantly worsen living conditions during the winter months, especially in areas near the front line. People living there face harsh winter conditions, compounded by high levels of vulnerability — particularly among displaced persons, older persons, persons with disabilities, single-headed households with children, and those with chronic health conditions. These risks are further exacerbated by severely damaged infrastructure resulting from ongoing conflict and persistent airstrikes.

According to OCHA Ukraine Winter Response Plan 2025-2026, a total of 1.7 million people across Ukraine have been estimated in need of specific winter assistance, with 77 per cent located in areas along the frontline and northern border. Including displaced persons living in Сollective sites located along the entire contact line. 

With this project Mondo ensures with partners the minimal safe living conditions in winter 2025/26 for 1240 of the most vulnerable IDPs living in collective sites in Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv oblasts, including pensioners, persons with disabilities, women, and children. We will provide winterization support to 11 collective sites, as well as 176 households in Cherkasy hromada of Kramatorsk raion of Donetsk oblast.
