MARTIN-club launched a mobile invincibility point for disabled residents of Dnipro

In conditions of blackouts, people who cannot quickly or independently reach stationary assistance points remain particularly vulnerable. That is why a mobile invincibility point has been launched in Dnipro - a format that allows providing support directly near the place of residence.

The mobile point is primarily aimed at residents with limited mobility, the elderly, families with children, and those who, due to health or household restrictions, cannot move around the city during power outages. The visits reduce the burden on people and provide access to basic things: recharging communication devices, hot water, and basic support.

In coordination with the municipal institution "Dotyk", the mobile point of invincibility of the NGO MARTIN-club goes to places where, due to the lack of electricity, residents are left without basic opportunities: to recharge their phones, contact their relatives, get hot water. Coordination allows integrating this format into the general system of city support during crisis situations. The first visit took place at 27 Berezinska Street. 18 people received assistance, including 11 women and 7 men.

Special attention in this format is paid to houses with electric stoves - during long-term outages, this is where household difficulties arise most quickly. The mobile point allows you to partially cover these needs without the need to move people to stationary locations.

Practice has shown interest from condominium associations: building heads are ready to join in coordinating and informing residents. In the future, it is planned to announce visits through building chats with a clear indication of the address and visual identification of the car, so that residents understand in advance where and when the service will be available.

The mobile invincibility point is seen as a practical tool for cities that live in an unstable energy supply regime - a service that complements stationary points and makes it possible to support people where they live.
