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:
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,
