Elena report

Olga and her husband called us after their house was shelled for the second time. They live in an area of Nikopol which is under bombing every single day.

Last year, a bomb hit near Olga’s house for the first time, breaking all their windows. They covered them with wood, but were cold all last winter.

Unfortunately, two weeks ago, while they were sleeping, a shell hit their home. They all heard the sounds of shrapnel hitting the walls of their rooms. They still can’t imagine how they survived. This time, we repaired their windows with our window insulation. This winter they will be warm.

Winter is quickly approaching and we are replacing damaged windows as fast as we can.  As little as $15 can replace a window.

The need is big, but small donations will make a difference!

Dnipro Hospital Windows Finished

Dnipro Hospital Windows Finished

A 5 story hospital in Dnipro reached out to Insulate Ukraine for help with their windows. The building suffered massive window loss during a Russian missle attach. Our Nikopol team went to Dnipro to complete the job. Today, they finished 326 windows, allowing the hospital to resume and safeguard the building from further water damage.

Sunflower Summer Camp Provides Haven for Ukrainian Refugee Children in Warsaw

Warsaw, 2024 – Sunflower Summer Camp, dedicated to supporting Ukrainian refugee children, is marking its third year of operation. The camp, which runs for eight weeks with four two-week sessions, has enrolled 230 children aged 2-16 this year, with a waiting list reflecting high demand.

“We specifically chose an amazing Ukrainian staff, many of whom are here for a second summer,” says Ellen Wasserson, a key organizer. “We have had them certified as teachers in Poland, which enables future employment.” The camp’s experienced Polish administrative staff ensures smooth and efficient operations.

The camp’s program focuses on a balance of activities including art and film workshops, educational and fun field trips, games, and playful learning that builds self-esteem, fosters curiosity, encourages problem-solving, and promotes hands-on creativity. Children also participate in dancing, singing, and sports, all under the watchful eyes of caring, experienced teachers.

“We aim to create a supportive environment where children learn to be kind, share, and work together in groups,” Wasserson explains. “Older children divide into teams to produce their own movies, using computers and phones to write, act, edit, and film.”

Sunflower Summer Camp emphasizes building supportive relationships among Ukrainian children and teachers, fostering a sense of community despite the dispersed living situations in Warsaw. The goal is to help children build confidence and resilience while having fun and maintaining their Ukrainian pride and connections.

The camp also provides psychological support to children, parents, and teachers, all of whom have experienced trauma. Nutritional needs are met with provided breakfast, lunch, and snacks.

The Ukrainian Embassy to Poland has recognized Sunflower Summer Camp’s impactful work by granting it official Patronage and honoring Gary, one of the organizers, with a special medal.

Sunflower Summer Camp continues to be a beacon of hope and joy for Ukrainian refugee children, offering a safe and nurturing environment to thrive.

This is one of the best kindergartens in Nikopol. I might be biased because this was my kindergarten. It’s always such a confusion when you start thinking what’s going on in the hearts of the people who shoot kindergartens, schools and hospitals the only sings which gives us some kind of comfort it’s gladness that no children were there at the moment.  It’s always hard to see how this buildings which were made to serve children are being destroyed. We are very glad that we can take part and help to save those buildings from moisture and destruction, thanks to window insulation.

Please help us keep families warm in Ukraine. We need funding to help keep this project going. As little as $15 can replace a window.

The need is big, but small donations will make a difference!
