For the second consecutive year, Nova Ukraine in partnership with Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) and with support from The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, has been implementing a project to organize resilience centers at train stations throughout Ukraine. The Points of Invincibility project was created to provide assistance during critical periods. During power outages, visitors can be in a safe place where it is warm in winter, where there is light, power, and access to the internet, and where people can charge their devices and call loved ones.
Attendance at these centers has been impressive. From October 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, over 1.6 million people visited these centers as a result of mass shelling by russian forces on Ukrainian territories, including residential areas and infrastructure objects.
Forty of these centers also include areas where children can spend time in educational and fun activities, playing with toys, coloring pictures, reading books, counting, playing board games, and more. Each of the libraries in these areas have over 100 books in the Ukrainian language.
We are proud to announce that with the support of The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, this project will continue supporting 50 Points of Invincibility Ukrzaliznytsia locations through February 2025. We are grateful to our partners who, during this difficult security situation in Ukraine, continue to support the Ukrainian people and help to minimize challenges during blackouts.
