2024 Water Access Report
![]()
The war in Ukraine has caused much suffering. Damage to civilian infrastructure has impaired the population's access to basic necessities, including drinking water.
The Ukrainian Red Cross has been at the forefront of restoring access to water since the break of the full-scale invastion. Looking back at the 2024 achievements, we would like to share some of the highlights.
Ensuring Safe Access to Water Supply in the Zaporizhzhia Region. A drinking water treatment plant was installed in the village of Verbove in Zaporizhzhia. This plant is designed to treat water, processing one cubic metre per hour up to 30 cubic metres per day. Given the frequent water disruptions and the poor water quality, this plant is more crucial than ever. Thanks to this facility, we will be able to provide drinking water to over a thousand people in the starosta district in the Petro-Mykhailivka territorial community.
The team also delivered essential materials and equipment to maintain a reliable water supply and improve access to safe water, including voltage stabilisers, welding machines, sledgehammers, submersible pumps, motor pumps, tanks, hoses, and tool kits.
The Zaporizhzhia regional branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross has delivered a water purification unit to the Territorial Social Services Centre in the city of Vilniansk. This water purification unit will provide clean drinking water to approximately one hundred elderly residents served by the social services centre, as well as others in need.
The Ukrainian Red Cross, together with The Coca-Cola Foundation, helps to improve access to drinking water in the southern regions of Ukraine by drilling a new artesian well in the village of Chornobaivka, where the local Verevchyna River in the Chornobaivka territorial community of the Kherson region - previously the main source of fresh water - has dried up due to the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP dam.
The URCS has provided modern equipment for assessing the key physical and chemical indicators of water quality to the Laboratory for Water and Soil Monitoring of the Desna Basin Water Resources Agency. The equipment is essential for monitoring surface water bodies from which water is extracted to meet drinking and household needs.
The work continues!
