Fundraiser: 100 pickups
for The State Emergency Service of Ukraine to Support Humanitarian Demining
Our mission is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of civilians in Ukraine by making its soil mine-free. We strive to achieve this through the mobilization of resources and technologies, and by partnering with organizations and communities to ensure sustainable solutions for demining and clearing explosive objects in Ukraine.
174,000+ sq. km (or 30%) of Ukrainian territory requires demining
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
In 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine created one of the largest minefields in the world.
This resulted in devastating consequences for civilians, infrastructure, and the environment, while also impacting the global food supply. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) clears explosive objects in urban and rural areas to bring normalcy back to the population. They risk their lives to clear highways, transport facilities, life support systems, and critical infrastructure facilities.
As the war in Ukraine persists, the SESU needs to triple its demining personnel to cope with growing threats to civilians and ensure their safety. To do this, the SESU needs 100 pickup vehicles to carry out humanitarian demining tasks and transport personnel and equipment for its additional demining units.Your donation can help provide the necessary resources to support these brave pyrotechnicians in Ukraine.
