A New Water Station Brings Hope to Bogodukhiv

By Vlas Shurubko | Director

Dear friends,

Because of your generosity through the GlobalGiving Emergency Relief Fund, we have just completed the installation of a new community water filtration station in Bogodukhiv, a frontline town in the Kharkiv region. This achievement is more than a technical upgrade — it is a lifeline for families living under constant threat.

And it was made possible by you.

A community that refuses to give up

Bogodukhiv lies dangerously close to the Russian border. Airraid sirens, explosions, and damaged infrastructure have become part of daily life. Yet the people here continue to show extraordinary resilience. They rebuild, they support one another, and they refuse to surrender their hope for a peaceful future.

When we began this project, local residents immediately stepped forward. They helped prepare the site, laid paving stones, installed outdoor access points, and made sure the station would be visible and accessible to everyone — especially the elderly and families with children. Their hands are literally in every part of this installation.

This is what community resilience looks like.

What your support made possible

Thanks to your donations, we were able to install:

A full water purification and softening system
Largecapacity filtration units ensuring safe drinking water 24/7
Outdoor access points so any resident can fill containers for free
A secure, energyresilient setup that continues working even during outages

Every day, people come with bottles, canisters, and containers — and they leave with clean, safe water for their families. For many, this is the first time in months they can rely on a stable source of drinking water.

A moment from Bogodukhiv

One resident told us while filling his container:

“We live under constant strikes, but we still live. This station reminds us that we are not forgotten.”

Your support does more than provide water — it restores dignity, stability, and the feeling that the world still stands with them.

Why this matters now

As attacks continue, essential services remain fragile. Clean water is not just a convenience — it is survival. With every station we install, we reduce the burden on families, support local authorities, and strengthen the community’s ability to endure and recover.

Bogodukhiv now has a reliable source of safe drinking water because of you.

What’s next

We are already assessing nearby communities facing similar challenges. With your continued support, we can expand this network of emergency water stations and bring relief to thousands more.

Thank you

Your kindness is making life a little easier — and a lot safer — for people living on the edge of the war. Thank you for standing with Ukraine, for believing in resilience, and for helping us bring hope where it is needed most.

With gratitude, Vlas Shurubko Director, Power in UA

17th Filtration Station Installed

By Vlas Shurubko | Director of Power in UA

Your Support Brought Safe Water to Solonytsivka

Dear friends,

Thanks to your generosity through the GlobalGiving Emergency Relief Fund, we have opened our 17th emergency water station in the Kharkiv region — this time in Solonytsivka, a frontline community where families have endured months of unstable water supply and frequent power outages.

Your support made this possible.

Why Solonytsivka needed help

Repeated attacks on critical infrastructure have left thousands of residents without reliable access to clean drinking water. Many households were forced to rely on unsafe sources or travel long distances to fill containers. Local authorities reached out urgently — and because of you, we were able to respond immediately.

What your donation achieved

With GlobalGiving’s emergency funding, our team installed a community water purification station that now provides up to 5,000 liters of safe drinking water every day. The system includes:

Multistage filtration
UV disinfection
Foodgrade storage
Backup power to ensure operation during blackouts

The station began serving residents the same day it was installed.

A moment from the field

When the station opened, Mykola, a retired teacher, arrived with two canisters. He told us:

"We’ve been boiling water for weeks. This station gives us safety again. It feels like someone remembers us.”

Your support is what makes moments like this possible.

How this station strengthens resilience

This installation is part of our broader effort to build local resilience across Kharkiv oblast. Each new station reduces pressure on emergency services, supports vulnerable families, and ensures that even during outages or attacks, communities can still access clean water.

Solonytsivka is now safer because of you.

What’s next

We continue to work with municipalities to identify the next highrisk areas. Your ongoing support helps us deliver equipment quickly, maintain existing stations, and expand access to safe water across the region.

More updates are coming soon as we open additional stations.

Thank you

Your generosity through GlobalGiving directly protects families, restores dignity, and brings stability to communities living under constant pressure. We are deeply grateful for your support.

Warm regards,
