From the start of the full-scale invasion (February 2022) to early 2026
more than 63,000 energy facilities were damaged, and
about 2.9 thousand missiles and 12.7 thousand attack UAVs.
Tens of millions of Ukrainians regularly lived without electricity.
Among them are children with disabilities who depend on electricity to maintain their health and life.
In Dnipro, together with the Center for Psychosocial Support of the Population "Dotyk" and the "POMAGAYEM" Foundation, the NGO MARTIN-club supports families raising children with disabilities, providing them with alternative sources of nutrition.
This allows you to stay connected, maintain your daily life, and most importantly, ensure continuous care for your children even during power outages.
The project provides families with alternative power sources: 35 portable EcoFlow stations, as well as expanding support through the transfer of 250 high-power power banks and providing assistance to 200 families in the form of vouchers (cash certificates) to cover basic needs.
In times of war, power outages have become a part of daily life. But for families raising children with disabilities, the lack of light means much more: the inability to prepare meals, provide care, or support a child's education.
There are children who cannot feed themselves, and then a blender becomes a necessity. There are families where care is completely dependent on electrical appliances. And in these moments, light is not about comfort, but about basic stability and safety.
For over 26 years, the MARTIN-club NGO has been working with children and families who find themselves in difficult life circumstances.
The project is implemented by the NGO MARTIN-club and funded by ERIKS Development Partner, Eastern Europe Office and Radio Aid
