Stand with Ukraine

The recipients of donated funds are our colleagues and alumni of our exchange programs and other civic work in Ukraine. These brave Ukrainians are community leaders who represent small volunteer groups, local municipal or government branches, NGOs, pharmacies, and small businesses. They stepped up to the challenge of saving the lives of their countrymen every day. Join us in supporting their efforts. 

You have an opportunity to act this moment to provide real relief and a thread of hope to the communities and people who continue to protect their freedom, home, and independence from the Russian government's regime of oppression. The needs are immediate, and funds donated flow quickly, with 100% going directly into the hands of those helping save their communities.

We have identified several ongoing initiatives across Ukraine. To ensure people’s safety in some of the most dangerous locations, we will be providing only general information about them. If the needs change on the ground, we will re-direct our funds to support our colleagues and continue to provide aid to the most vulnerable — the elderly, orphans, people with disabilities, and families with small children. Check out our weekly updates to stay informed on how these donations are being used on the ground.

You can support Ukraine today by donating for any of these causes or by “adopting a cause” to drive fundraising efforts individually. Reach out to us to discuss how to adopt a cause at gsynergygroup@gmail.com

Water and Food for Mykolaiv

Human Rights Training Center has shifted their academic focus to providing vital humanitarian aid to their community. Access to drinking water has become scarce in recent weeks. Cities and villages under Russian military control do not have access to their municipal water systems, and in many areas all other drinkable water is sold out. Your donations will help purchase water filtration and/or purification systems to help people gain access to clean drinking water.

Beauty for Ukraine

NGO Girls provides aid to women and children in Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, and Vorzel who are left without means after the siege and looting by the Russian military. Right now, they are raising funds to support mothers who work in the beauty industry (hairdressers, nail technicians, eyelash extension and eyebrow specialists) and who lost their tools during the Russian occupation. 

Seamstresses Sewing Uniforms  

These brave women came together for a small sewing project to keep busy during the Russian invasion in the Kyiv area. Soon, their efforts grew into a full-scale operation: they are currently making t-shirts for the Ukrainian Army. With your donations, you can help them purchase more fabric to continue their work and fellowship. 

Playtime for Displaced Children of Kaniv

Food for Kherson

We are only sending resources to those with whom we have developed long, trusting relationships. We see and understand the help they are providing. It is truly life and death, day-to-day.
