Help wounded Ukrainians to live their lives
Your donation will cover the shipping costs to transport containers with humanitarian aid, donated by generous Kiwis, from NZ to Ukraine.
Nationwide
Over 3 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 3 years ago, thanks to your support from every corner of NZ, 6 containers of aid have been successfully delivered to Ukraine. The 7th container has been shipped and due in Ukraine in June. The 8th container is being prepared to leave Christchurch. 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 frontline 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.
Ukrainian Association of New Zealand (Northern Regions)'s involvement (page creator)
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.
Use of funds
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 #9 is loaded and on its way to Ukraine! 6 October 2025
When we loaded the very first container of humanitarian aid to Ukraine back in 2022, we didn’t quite believe there would ever be another one. And yet, last Saturday — the NINTH container was packed and is ready to go.
On one hand, it’s heart-breaking that our homeland still needs help so urgently.
On the other, throughout all these years, we’ve felt that we are not standing aside — that each of us, in our own way, is bringing our shared Victory closer.
If we were to thank everyone who, in one way or another, contributed to the preparation and dispatch of this container, this post would stretch over several pages.
So instead, we simply want to thank all of you — each and every one of you.
From those who purchased the supplies — to those who loaded them on Saturday. From those who gave their time, both during work and after hours, to transport everything — to those who carefully packed each box. From those who arranged for equipment donations — to those who contributed financially or offered storage space.
And a very special THANK YOU to everyone who contributed through our Givealittle page, large or small, you are all true friends of Ukraine.
Without you ALL, eight tonnes of aid collected would not now be on its way to Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!
And we cannot stop now... let's make the 10th container happen SOON. You can be part of this vital mission by making a donation towards the logistics costs. Every dollar helps Ukrainians in Ukraine. 💙💛
