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

*Conducted mobile health clinics in newly liberated red zones as part of a medical outreach programme;
* Fabricated and delivered over 2500 wood burning stoves and water boilers for civilians without power and water;
* Managed the International logistics of moving 33 ambulances from New Zealand and Australia to Western Europe, with the additional purchase of one truck and six support vehicles within Europe to maintain their operations in Ukraine;
