NZ based ReliefAid works in conflict zones providing humanitarian aid.
Grey Lynn, Auckland
As the situation in Ukraine worsens by the day, millions of people have been uprooted from their homes. Families continue to flee for safety not knowing where their next meal is coming from or where they will find shelter for their children.
You can help. ReliefAid's Founder is in Ukraine overseeing our emergency response. Our aid deliveries will include medical supplies, food and shelter materials to people left behind in hard to reach places.

Please give what you can and share this page with family, friends, and colleagues. You can help us extend our networks by sharing our work so we can continue to help families survive this chaos.

An Update From Ukraine! 7 November 2025
Mike Seawright, ReliefAid's founder, is currently in Kharkiv with our team, overseeing the distribution of home repair kits to families whose homes have been damaged by war.
With winter fast approaching and temperatures already dropping, these materials, like winter insulation, putty and essential repair supplies, are helping families make their homes weatherproof before the cold sets in.
“These kits mean the difference between being able to stay in your home or having to leave it,” says Mike. “Every distribution we deliver gives families back a sense of safety. None of this would be possible without the support of people back in New Zealand and around the world.”
Mike reports that families in Ukriane are tired, they are tired of a war that does not seem to be ending anytime soon. Constant missile attacks, and the destruction of energy infrastructure, makes life uncertain and extremely stressful for families across Ukraine.
Thanks to your donations, hundreds of people in frontline areas like Kharkiv are being supported right now. Your humanity is keeping families warm, safe, and together this winter.

From all of us, and from the families you’re supporting, thank you.
