Ukrainian Action’s founder, Jeff Hartman, has a special connection with Ukraine after living in Central
Ukraine for several years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. He founded the NGO to help his friends who are
struggling due to the war. Every week, the organization sends trucks of supplies that pass through the
Ukrainian-Polish border. Since March, they have raised over $500,000, with 50 trucks delivering
supplies to Kyiv, Central, and Western Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Action volunteers send and collect the supplies from all over the world. They have received
supplies from over 450 donors and continue to receive and collect donations every week to maintain their
support. Their inspiring journey– which has been entirely documented on their Instagram – has a wide network of supporters.
To expand their support, they have partnered with Water Mission , an
NGO delivering
emergency water treatment equipment and hygiene equipment to Ukraine. Their partnership has been effective
in providing Ukrainians with The Living Water Treatment System, a miniature water treatment system that can
purify water for up to 5,000 people per day.
