Dear friends and supporters,

we are shocked, that this war is not yet over, that winter is coming - and that Russia is deliberatley destroying civil energy infrastructure. We want to ramp up our efforts now. Since the last postings we have already delivered several more packages of help to Ukraine. Our main partner to distribute the items there is the Ecoclub in Rivne. Solar loaders are now near winter less quick, but still effective. However we want to add some dynamo based systems and powerbanks. Please help us with your donation to supply now in this very diffcult situation. The environmental association Ecoclub in Rivne fetched our parcels from Poland themself and delivered our help by doing car trips to affected areas, taking into account all risks connected to it by going for example to Chernihiv or Kharkiv.

Here you can see two guys with a mobile solar loader and powerbank:


Sunnybag supported the effort with an own funding action for minileaf solar modules, which we delivered to Ukraine and which can load a mobile phone:


Solar modules and backpacks went as well to Kharkiv:


Here you can see how civilists in Chernihiv gather around a mobile power station with a foldable solar modules


foldable light weigh solar panels can supply bigger powerstations


such stations with bigger batteries can be used to supply several phones, laptops and even a small fridge


Ecoclub in Rivne comments on our efforts so:
"Since March Ecoclub has given about 400 solar chargers and power banks to communities in the east of the country, doctors, and volunteers. The opportunity to be in touch, to learn news, to contact relatives is priceless.For it, we and everyone who uses the received equipment, are grateful to our friends and partners from Germany, who have been looking for all kinds of opportunities to support Ukrainians since the beginning of the invasion.We received most of the chargers from the European Association of Renewable Energy Sources Eurosolar, WECHANGE cooperative and private donors. Many thanks to Astrid Schneider, Helmut Wolman and all the benefactors.We sent equipment to the communities of Zelenodolsk (Dnipropetrovsk oblast), the community and hospital of Selydove (Donetsk oblast), Novohrad-Volynskyi (Zhytomyr oblast), Kharkiv and Sumy oblast, the hospital of Myrnohrad (Donetsk oblast)We share with you some of the photos from those who use panels and power banks". 

We are very greatful for all the small and bigger contributions we received so far. Please help us now to go on.

Please support our help effort now
