ENERGY SECURITY AND INDEPENDENCE
mobile AC power system for Medical Facilities in Ukraine
In April 2024, we have launched a project to provide medical facilities in southern Ukraine with a mobile AC power system obtained from our partner NGO Ukraine2power.
The project will start by providing power supply systems to medical facilities in Mykolaiv Oblast. In future, we plan to transfer equipment to medical facilities in Odesa and Kherson Oblasts.
The project is implemented in partnership with Ukraine2power, Caritas Spes Odesa, as well as our system partners and benefactors – Dar Foundation and Daar Foundation.
Mobile AC power systems are self-contained, mobile and can be moved without special equipment. They are designed to power critical equipment in medical facilities or ambulances. A single battery provides up to 3 kW of continuous power. Three combined batteries provide up to 7 kW. This is enough to power many mission-critical loads such as ventilators, WLAN routers, lighting or communications equipment.
“Logistics hub and corridor of life “Zaporizhzhya – Kherson”
Organization of the mass process of transporting humanitarian aid to the occupied city of Kherson. From June to September 2022, 75 volunteer drivers involved by us, risking their lives, made 116 trips and transported about 164 tons of humanitarian cargo.
Beneficiaries: directly 8,404 local residents received food pakages, more residents of the Kherson region received help from other public organizations, which we helped to move humanitarian cargo.
Transit Hub “I – Kherson” for the Kherson Region residents in Zaporizhzhya
The hub’s main function is to let the guests stay for 1-3 nights. They will receive meals and humanitarian aid, consultations, lawyers, and doctor’s advice, as well as a psychologist’s advice before traveling to their next location. The project was administered by the NGO until September 14, 2022
During the period of its activity in August – September 2022, the Hub received 1,576 people

4) Transportation of humanitarian aid in the communities of the Kherson region on 17-21 March, 2023
The head of the NGO Regional Centre for Sustainable Development, Maksym Atamaniuk, spent several days personally visiting villages in the Kherson region to deliver humanitarian aid, as he did at the beginning of the war.
In the first part of video clip you can see what the right bank of the Kherson region looks like now. Most of the roads and all the bridges in the region have been destroyed, some settlements still have no electricity, there are not enough basic necessities, shells and broken russian military equipment are everywhere. The region is under constant artillery fire from russian troops on the left bank of the Dnipro river.
Project “Volunteer Landing”
NGO “Regional Center for Sustainable Development” – co-organizer of the “Volunteer Descent” project (together with the Humanitarian Coordination Headquarters of the Odessa region), in which volunteers from various cities in Ukraine and abroad came to the city of Kherson at the invitation of the local authorities and assisted in working with the residents and local government bodies, as well as providing assistance to the residents of Kherson and villages in the Kherson region.
The Descent volunteers deliver aid to the elderly and needy residents of the city of Kherson and villages in the Kherson region. They assist in loading and unloading humanitarian aid, travel to provide assistance in areas where houses have been damaged during shelling, and help evacuate residents of Kherson region.
The project was initiated on December 21, 2022. Over 30 volunteers participated in the project and stayed in Kherson. The project coordinators, Alexander Prokopiev, Mykyta Mikhalkov, and Mykhailo Barkar, relocated to Kherson for permanent residence.
