Food & Emergency Relief
Food / Water for Newly Liberated Villages
When villages in Ukraine were retaken, shops, gas and electricity were often destroyed. We shipped pallets of non‑perishable food – stews, soups, beans, pasta, coffee, sugar and more – directly to these communities in partnership with local NGOs.
- Location: Western and central Ukraine
- Impact: 80+ pallets delivered to towns and villages emerging from occupation
- Partners: Palianytsia and local volunteers
- Water via firetrucks
Ready‑to‑Eat Meals for War Zones
In areas where cooking fires or gas can expose people to artillery attacks, we provided ready‑to‑eat pouches prepared by a Polish producer.
- Over 9’000 pouches manufactured and delivered (each feeds two people)
- Prioritised for frontline and newly deoccupied communities with no safe cooking options
Flood & Water Crisis Response
After the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam and other attacks on infrastructure, we sent vanloads of water purification tablets and supplies to affected regions, helping families access safe drinking water when municipal systems failed.
Children, Orphans & Trauma Care
Art Therapy in Warsaw
In Warsaw, refugee mothers and their children along with school groups, senior groups and children with special needs gather several days a week for painting, crafts and woodworking classes led by Ukrainian and Polish therapists and teachers.
- Locations: At our central Warsaw community center, called Solnest.
- Reach: Around 250 women and children each week
- Why it matters: Creates safe, creative spaces where adulds and children process trauma and rebuild confidence, and where mothers, seniors and families—all of whom carry invisible wounds—find support.
Love Does Schools – Education & Hot Meals
About 220 Ukrainian refugee children attend a K–12 school run by Love Does and Life Polska Foundation.
- We fund hot lunches five days a week so every child has at least one secure meal per school day

In response to the growing number of war amputees, we helped launch a pioneering prosthetics project at Transcarpathian Regional Clinic Hospital.
- Partners: Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital, Invent Medical, Proteor
- What we provide: 3D printer purchase, materials, training and on‑the‑ground coordination
- Why it matters: A complete prosthetic leg (socket plus components) can be produced using the “Icarus” 3D Printers in hours at about one‑tenth the traditional cost, giving children and adults a chance to walk again.
