Strong support from the Swedish public – SEK 15 million allocated to five projects to keep Ukraine warm

It has been two weeks since the fundraising campaign “Ge Ukraina Värme” was launched by Radiohjälpen on SVT and a public response has been incredible. As a result, 15 million SEK (about 1,4 million EUR) are already collected to help Ukrainian people (13 million coming from donations and 2 additional allocated from Radiohjälpen fund).

As campaign continues, to insure that so much needed help reaches Ukraine fast, Radiohjälpen added 2 more million from their Fund and granted support to five projects implemented by experienced partner organizations. The efforts focus on the most vulnerable regions, including Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Dnipro, as well as the capital, Kyiv.

Heat for children’s education (via LM International / Läkarmissionen):
SEK 3 million to ensure heated, lit, and safe learning environments for children in frontline cities. The project reduces risks during extreme cold and prolonged power outages.

 Energy for hospitals and district heating (via ADRA Sweden):
SEK 3 million to finance mobile diesel generators in the Dnipropetrovsk region. This secures critical hospital operations and helps maintain district heating systems in the cities of Dnipro and Kryvyi Rih.

 Fuel and emergency support near the front line (via Act Church of Sweden):
SEK 3 million allocated to the Kharkiv region for generator fuel and power stations, as well as distribution of winter clothing and blankets to internally displaced people.

 Heat for children with disabilities (via Erikshjälpen):
SEK 3 million directed to families with children with disabilities. Support includes portable power stations for medical equipment and lighting, as well as warm clothing and food.

 Field kitchens and warming centers in Kyiv (via the Swedish Red Cross):
SEK 3 million to fund mobile field kitchens providing hot meals and water, as well as generators for municipal institutions and warming centers in the capital region.
