OUR MISSION
Our people are suffering.
Our families are devastated.
Our children are crying.
They need OUR help! They need YOUR help!
In the face of brutal war, it can be easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed. But at UAWS, we believe that even the smallest act of kindness and support can make a difference in the lives of those affected by russian aggression. Our mission is clear: to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and to prioritize support in the areas where it is needed most. Our primary objectives:
• Deliver medical supplies to hospitals in Ukraine (in partnership with Medical Teams International)
• Provide civilian territorial defense units defending their neighborhoods with body armor
• Support civilians in life-saving tactical medicine
• Help internally displaced families and orphans
