Your donation will cover the shipping costs to transport containers with humanitarian aid, donated by generous Kiwis, from NZ to Ukraine.
Nationwide
Over 4 years Ukrainians have been fighting for their survival. Residential buildings, schools, and hospitals continue to be shelled. Thousands of Ukrainians have been injured, and they require assistance to lead their lives. There is a severe shortage of medical equipment.
Since this 'container' project started 4 years ago, thanks to your support from every corner of NZ, 11 containers of aid have been successfully delivered to Ukraine. The 12th container is about to land in Ukraine. This is a truly amazing NZ wide community project run by volunteers who care about people in Ukraine.
The Ukrainians are so grateful to receive medical equipment from Kiwis - wheelchairs, hospital beds, walking frames, crutches, catheters, dressings, wound drains, adult diapers and other essentials. Beside this, NZ made merino thermals were supplied to the front-line defenders. Your generous donations of clothing, children's toys also warm hearts and bodies of displaced Ukrainians.
Ukrainian Association of New Zealand is reaching out for your help. Your donation will cover the shipping and logistics costs to transport the containers from NZ to Ukraine.
On the ground in Ukraine, a dedicated and trusted group of volunteers will ensure these medical supplies reach the people who urgently require them. Your support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by war.
UANZ is a community based, non-profit organisation founded in 2007. We have a network of volunteers and supporters to organise, pack, store and move the donated goods, help with compliance and paperwork for the shipment of containers.
The donations will be spent on cost of delivery the container(s) from New Zealand to Ukraine and purchasing thermal underwear from a local NZ manufacturer. The project promises to be ongoing. It means there may be more containers than one.

Container #11 Is in Ukraine! 22 September 2026
On August 6th, in the middle of a 40°C heatwave, Container #11 crossed the Ukrainian border. Since then, the aid shipped from Christchurch has been reaching the people who need it most.
Every doctor and nurse, every emergency worker, every defender currently serving, those who have been wounded and can no longer defend their country, and every child who received a small piece of love from New Zealand are immensely grateful. Even Kiwis currently in Ukraine have benefited from the aid, receiving a little help from home as they continue their humanitarian mission to support Ukrainians.
Every box tells a story. Every wheelchair restores independence. Every medical supply helps save lives. Every donation reminds someone that they have not been forgotten.
Thank you, New Zealand!
Now we are eagerly tracking Container #12, which has left Invercargill and is on its way to the Polish port of Gdańsk.
The challenges continue to grow. Shipping costs are increasing, regulations are becoming more complex, and the cost of transporting goods from the port into Ukraine keeps rising. Most concerning of all, the demand for medical supplies, wheelchairs, generators, clothing, and other essential items continues to increase.
And with winter just around the corner, the need is only becoming more urgent.
Please keep donating so that we can continue this vital project. We cannot give up, and with your support, we won't.
Together, we can keep making a difference.
Slava Ukraini!
