KIWI K.A.R.E UKRAINE - Kiwi Aid & Refugee Evacuation

$523,687 of $600,000 goal
Given by 1662 generous donors in 2 years

KIWI K.A.R.E is providing critical Aid and Refugee Evacuation services to the people of Ukraine.

The people of Ukraine are under siege. Help us do what Kiwi's do best: use our practical skills and can-do attitude to make a positive difference.

Fourteen million Ukrainians have been displaced, with half this number believed to be internally displaced within Ukraine. Many are unable to get away from the suffering and trauma of constant attacks.

KIWI K.A.R.E (Kiwi Aid & Refugee Evacuation) needs to raise money to fund vehicles, and purchase supplies and equipment to run a 24-month operation.

We are delivering food, sanitary products for women, nappies, toys for children, medicine and medical equipment, trauma kits and defibrillators, pet supplies (for the thousands of displaced animals) and much more.

We are also providing evacuation services for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) from troubled areas.

KIWI K.A.R.E is a registered New Zealand Charitable Organisation and is led by Tenby Powell. With over three decades of military service in the NZ Army, a successful business career and service on government boards, Tenby is funding his own way while in situ in Ukraine and now seeks help with sustainable funding for Kiwi K.A.R.E.

“Many have lost everything. The supplies we deliver are essential for those remaining in Ukraine and for those we assist with evacuation. Without a new van the entire operation stops. We travel thousands of kilometres each week and we need to maintain this high operational tempo.”

Thank you for your generous support.

Kiwi K.A.R.E (Kiwi Aid & Refugee Evacuation) is operating in Ukraine delivering essential supplies and evacuating civilians from dangerous areas.

Use of funds

Money raised will go directly on operations, the establishment of a HQ, purchase of a van to deliver much needed goods, food, medicine - and to provide evacuations. No money will be used to fund administration or team wages; we are covering our own costs.

💙 Road of Life 💛  23 October 2024

Hi friends

Thanks for your continued support for Kiwi K.A.R.E in Ukraine. We greatly appreciate your generosity and care.

Our work continues at pace particularly with winter rapidly approaching.

We have formalised our evacuation and medical transportation service in a new brand called Road-of-Life.

The Road-of-Life brand has taken a lot of conversations and input with our Ukrainian partners and I truly believe it shows a strong partnership between New Zealand and Ukraine on multiple levels, albeit in a small way.

We currently have three teams who will run the ambulances in the wider Kharkiv Region (Team East), the Kherson Region (Team South), and across Western Ukraine to assist Internally Displaced Persons who need to get to a hospital.

In time, and contingent on funding, we will grow this capability and the geographical service area in which we operate.

Let me know your thoughts.

Best regards, Tenby

Thank you so much, Victor. We continue to fabricate water heaters and stoves which, due to the amount of infrastructure destruction, will be needed across the summer months too. Thank you for your support. 💙💛
