The partner was identified in March 2022. Rescue Now is U-Saved’s main partner in the development of a major program for the evacuation of civilians from war zones funded by the Polish NGO PAH.

Edelweiss is a historical partner of U-Saved in the context of the crisis in Ukraine. This association, which has been helping the families of missing persons in Donbass since 2015, has extended its activities following the 2022 war. This small structure of volunteers that we support has a good network of contacts in Donbass and has enabled us to identify the last semi-industrial bakery producing bread in the region. Thus we have the possibility of distributing bread even in the hardest areas of access like the village of Avdiivka where we deliver 400 loaves per week to people in the most difficult situations, handicapped and elderly people stuck in this area of the front line.

The partner was identified following the visit to the programs in April/May 2022. It was signed on May 14, 2022 and consists of the distribution of 2,100 breads per week. The group assists 1,300 beneficiaries every day, i.e. more than 9,000 people per week.

A MoU was signed with the association on May 2, 2022 and was the subject of a program monitoring visit by the Presidents of the U-Saved Federation and U-Saved Ukraine. U-Saved delivers 2,100 loaves of bread per week to the association, which includes them in the food rations that are distributed in the region to the most needy people. In all, Volunterska UA assists nearly 3,500 people per week through various activities, including the distribution of food, hygiene products and basic necessities.

A MoU was signed with the association on May 2, 2022 and was the subject of a program monitoring visit by the Presidents of the U-Saved Federation and U-Saved Ukraine. U-Saved delivers bread every day to the association’s kitchen, which provides daily hot meals for lunch and dinner to 500 of the most vulnerable people.
