Ukraine
Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.
Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.
Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.
About 3 600 educational institutions, including nearly
2 000 schools,
have suffered damage with some 371 educational facilities totally destroyed since the escalation of the war.
There were over
2 100 attacks
on healthcare facilities, which have claimed at least 197 lives, including those of health workers and patients, and injured many more, severely disrupting health services.
We treat
It was freezing. Fourteen below zero. Marina didn’t hesitate. She got on her bike and started pedaling. The journey took three hours. The bitter cold numbed her fingers and left her face frozen. She never stopped.
She had heard that the Dobra Fabryka team was registering patients for medical aid at a nearby health center. This was her only shot—her only chance to get the weapons she needed to fight cancer.
For weeks, her personal battle with the disease had mirrored the war raging just miles from her home in the Dnipropetrovsk region. With no way to defend herself, no means to fight back, she feared the illness would break through her last lines of resistance, taking over piece by piece.
Medical supplies in eastern Ukraine have been running dangerously low. First-aid kits and health centers were emptied soon after the U.S. administration halted its aid to the country. The most vulnerable—women, children, the elderly—are left without even the most basic care. Many can’t afford essential medication.
Hospitals and clinics are overwhelmed, power outages are frequent, and the number of wounded keeps rising. Thousands of children, cancer patients, and people with chronic conditions like diabetes and epilepsy wait for help for weeks.
Marina learned about Dobra Fabryka’s program from a neighbor. She couldn’t call us—there’s no cell service near the eastern front. The only sounds that break the silence are air raid sirens—every hour, sometimes more. She had no details, no guarantees. But she took the risk because, for her, this was life or death.
When she finally reached the health center, she found our team. She got the medication she so desperately needed. And with it—hope.
Marina has hope because of you. We are the only organization in the Dnipropetrovsk region providing medical aid through vouchers. We refuse to tell these people that this is the end. While other organizations pack up and leave, we stay. Because we have you. And we know you won’t turn your back on them.
We provide patients with vouchers that cover prescriptions and essential medical care. Each voucher costs 27 EUR—for many, it’s the price of another month of life. For those unable to reach a clinic, we deliver aid directly to homes and shelters.
Today, the face of Ukraine’s fight for freedom is Marina’s face.
Online trolls try to tell us what to think about our neighbors to the east. But if there’s one thing we in Poland should understand, it’s the value of independence. And even if that’s the only thing we share with Ukrainians right now—that alone is reason enough to stand with them.
To heal their wounds. To protect the most vulnerable.
Let’s not let hatred poison us. Let’s show them the kind of solidarity we’d hope for if we were in their place.
