Project Peremoha — humanitarian convoys
Purpose
Project Peremoha is a program of quarterly humanitarian convoys run by the LIFE Polska Foundation in cooperation with partners from Ukraine and abroad. Our goal is to deliver aid to the regions most in need, including places close to the front line that face daily shelling and lack access to electricity, water, medicines, and basic necessities.
Who is it for?
Our transports are primarily directed to:
- families with children living in front-line areas,
- pregnant women and mothers with infants,
- elderly and single people,
- local communities cut off from regular supplies of food and hygiene products.
Where?
The convoys depart from Poland and reach places such as Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kramatorsk, and Kharkiv. These are often cities and villages that are under direct shelling or located near occupied territories. We work with local volunteers, hospitals, and parishes that help us distribute the aid safely on site.
How does Project Peremoha work?
- We organize regular quarterly humanitarian convoys that cross the border and travel deep into Ukraine, often reaching places others cannot.
- Each transport includes: long-shelf-life food, canned goods, hygiene products, and household cleaning supplies.
- We pack the goods in Poland with the support of volunteers, and on site we hand them over at distribution points, hospitals, and aid centers.
Special moments
Each convoy is not only about logistics, but also about meetings and moving stories:
- in Kherson, we distributed aid at a maternity hospital that had moved entirely underground due to shelling,
- in Kramatorsk, we supported youth evacuated from occupied areas by providing them with food parcels,
- in Zaporizhzhia, our parcels reached families who, for the first time in many months, received diapers and baby formula.
What do the parcels contain?
- Food: canned meat and fish, groats, pasta, rice, oil, canned fruit, ready-made soups for children.
- Baby supplies: infant formula, jars and purees, diapers, wet wipes.
- Hygiene: soaps, shower gels, laundry powders and liquids, cleaning products.
- Other: blankets, candles, batteries, flashlights — depending on the current needs in a given region.
Why is it important?
The war in Ukraine is not only fighting on the front, but also civilians’ everyday struggle to survive. Thanks to Project Peremoha convoys, thousands of people receive essential support that gives them the strength to get through another day. Each transport is a sign that the world remembers them and that they are not alone in their suffering. Project Peremoha is a bridge between donors abroad and Ukrainian families who still believe that victory will come — peremoha.
