Join Us in Warming Lives This Winter — Your Support is Crucial!

Ukraine is bracing for its second tough winter of the full-scale invasion with a severely damaged energy infrastructure. Despite massive repairs to the energy system, it remains fragile after the many months of russian strikes. As a result, millions of Ukrainian families are bracing for power outages.

Many communities are preparing for the cold temperatures and hardships of regular blackouts, compounded by damaged homes, unstable electrical grid, and unreliable gas supply. In the winter, temperatures in Ukraine can drop from 35°F to a frigid -4°F, and this is particularly concerning for the large number of displaced Ukrainians in the eastern and central regions.

The energy crisis poses significant risks, but your support makes resilience possible.

Our Response

Nova Ukraine aims to strengthen both smaller communities and critical infrastructure across the country during these tumultuous times. We support the impacted communities by deploying compact power stations, providing warm clothing and bedding, as well as distributing essential supplies and tools for home repairs.

Power Solutions

We have procured portable power stations and prepared them for distribution during emergencies. They are especially critical for smaller hospitals in areas with unstable electricity, ensuring the operation of essential equipment.

Essential Supplies

We have stockpiled heating equipment and portable gas stoves to ensure warmth and the ability to cook during power outages. We anticipate an increased demand for stoves and fuel as the weather gets colder. Your donations will help meet this growing need.

Clothing and Shelter

We contracted local Ukrainian textile businesses to manufacture thermal underwear, sleeping bags, and blankets designed to offer maximum warmth and comfort. There is a dire need for reliable housing and shelters, so we have procured and are distributing tools essential for home repairs, aiding communities in reinforcing their homes against the winter.

Your Contribution Matters

  • Immediate Support: Your donations fund the delivery of essential supplies.
  • Sustaining the Warmth: Help us maintain the production of warm clothing.
  • Rapid Response Capabilities: Contribute to our ability to respond to evolving energy needs.
  • Tools for Repair: Help us provide locals with repair tools to secure their homes against bitter cold.

‘Language and Thinking’ Program Prepares Young Ukrainians for Future Leadership

With Nova Ukraine’s support, Bard College leads writing- and discussion-filled workshops on the topic of justice Students from across Ukraine developed critical reading, writing, and civic leadership skills in a new program this summer supported by Nova Ukraine. The tuition-free, residential program, called Language and Thinking Kyiv, was based on Bard College’s Institute for Writing and Thinking approach to learning and was led by students and faculty members from the school. A total of 29 high school students completed the three-week program, which focused on the theme of “justice.” Students read and discussed texts written by Václav Havel, Lesia Ukrainka, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and zeroed in on topics such as freedom, responsibility, and dignity. The students worked in small, immersive workshops and practiced a variety of writing formats, including free writing, loop writing, and process writing—all in English—and then shared and discussed their work with their classmates to examine and refine their own thought processes. One example of their assignments was the use of dialectical notebooks, in which students write down their thoughts about a text they had read together, then pass their notebook to another student to add their perspective.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter
