Restoring access to drinking water in Ukraine

The Ukrainian Red Cross continues to provide assistance to affected communities by ensuring access to safe drinking water. Here are a few highlights of our activities over the past few months:

1. Special containers were delivered to the Zaporizhzhia Regional Clinical Hospital to ensure safe storage of drinking water. This will help increase the hospital’s readiness for potential emergencies and maintain its stable operation.
2. Two medical facilities in the Cherkasy region received plastic containers for storing drinking water.
3. Volunteers from the Kherson Regional Branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross delivered drinking water to residents of the “Korabel” neighborhood in Kherson. Currently, about 500 people continue to live in their homes despite challenging conditions.
4. The Shyrokivska community received two modern water purification units from the Zaporizhzhia Regional Branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
5. In the village of Petro-Mykhailivka, Zaporizhzhia district, a modern mobile water purification unit has been put into operation. The unit has a capacity of up to 30 m³ per day, fully meeting the local population’s needs for safe drinking water.
6. The Zaporizhzhia Regional Branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross also delivered a mobile autonomous water purification unit, OAZIS S300, to the Polohy Vocational Lyceum. This modern unit is designed to remove mechanical, organic, and microbiological contaminants from freshwater, with a capacity of 250–300 liters per hour, providing clean drinking water for up to 1,000 people daily. With this equipment, the lyceum will be able to guarantee safe water for both students and staff.
