NGO Slava Ukraini – overview of Activities in July
MTÜ Slava Ukraini will continue its activities, as the Russian war against Ukraine is still ongoing. We are fully dependent on donations to achieve our goals.
What has been achieved?
- We’ve delivered the equipment for blood transmission trainings to our partner organization PULSE in Ukraine. The equipment cost almost EUR 24 000 and it is already in use in the trainings.
- Building the prototype of a new evacuation vehicle is work in progress.
- We have gathered donations in the sum of EUR 1640,23 in July.
Every drop counts
The campaign we started in February, Every drop counts, needs your donations. Slava Ukraini has been able to order all the equipment, such as blood warmers, Eldon cards, different simulators and training kits, data loggers and containers that is needed for blood transfusion trainings thanks to the donations, including the ones from income tax returns. From now on, all the donations you’ll make will contribute to buying the equipment that will go directly to the front line to help Ukrainian soldiers.
Building guerilla ambulances
From August of 2023 until today we have acquired 34 cars, 32 of which have been rebuilt as guerilla ambulances, and handed over to the units. We have also procured and handed over to the units four ATV-s with carriers and one separate carrier. One more car is being delivered to Ukraine at the moment. We continue offering additional repairs to the cars that have been handed over to the units.
We’re thankful to all donators and volunteers who have helped us to send a good number of guerilla ambulances to the Ukrainian front line.
The guerilla ambulances are used to transport wounded soldiers from the front line to a safer location, where first aid can be given to them or they can be transported to a hospital by a regular ambulance. In case of a very difficult or mined terrain, ATV-s with carriers are useful for evacuation.
Creating prototype for a new evacuation vehicle
As it is difficult to find suitable Toyota Hiaces on the market to rebuild as guerilla ambulances, we have started the process of creating a new evacuation vehicle with our partners, so that evacuation of Ukrainian soldiers from the front line can continue. The car that is being used as a prototype has received a thorough maintenance, and a prototype is being built out of plywood.
Donations
In July, a total of EUR 1640,23 was donated to Slava Ukraini.
Since November last year, we belong to the list of charities who adopt the best practices for gathering donations (in Estonian).
There are still criminal procedures underway in both Estonia and Ukraine to shed light on how the donations were used before March 2023.
You can find our expense reports (in Estonian) on our website that we update on monthly basis.
