Support Project for Vulnerable Families Completed in Dnipro and Kharkiv Regions: Over 1,100 People Assisted

The Public Resources and Initiatives Charity Foundation has completed the implementation of the project “Humanitarian Support for Vulnerable Households: Winterization Assistance,” aimed at helping families get through the winter period amid energy instability and the ongoing consequences of war.

As part of the project, 350 households in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions received winterization kits, including heating supplies, home insulation materials, and basic solutions for energy resilience. In addition, 164 internally displaced persons in the city of Dnipro were provided with winter blankets.

In total, including family members, the assistance reached over 1,100 people.

Special attention within the project was given to supporting the most vulnerable groups — elderly people, families with young children, persons with disabilities, and female-headed households. In the Kharkiv region, assistance was provided in communities significantly affected by hostilities and still facing heightened security risks.

The project was implemented using transparent procurement procedures through the Prozorro system, which allowed for cost savings and increased the volume of assistance without additional funding.

According to the post-distribution survey (with 87% coverage), 93% of beneficiary households reported that the assistance significantly helped them cope with cold weather and power outages.

“This project is about basic needs that become critical in times of war — warmth, light, and safety. We see that even in challenging conditions, well-designed support can make a real difference in people’s lives and help them get through the winter with dignity,” said Olena Tanasiychuk, President of the Public Resources and Initiatives Charity Foundation.

The project not only provided immediate humanitarian support but also contributed to strengthening household energy resilience, reducing heating costs, and helping families better prepare for future challenges.

The project was implemented with the support of the Religious Administration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ukraine.
