12 June 2023: Thanks to your generous donations, 60 tons of humanitarian aid in food packages have already been sent to Ukrainian railway workers in the conflict-affected and occupied territories. This constitutes one-fifth of the total amount needed. Our goal is to deliver an additional 240 tons.
In collaboration with Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways), the Ukrainian authorities have not left railway workers from the frontline and de-occupied territories alone to face the war and its consequences. They are actively seeking ways to support them.
The Global Ukraine Rail Task Force has joined this critical mission and launched a new campaign to assist Ukrainian railway workers and their families. Despite facing challenging circumstances, railway workers from Liman, Pokrovsk, Torskoye, Yampil (Donetsk region), Kharkiv and Kharkiv region, Nikopol, Marganets, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv continue to fulfill their strategic tasks and ensure the stable operation of the railway transportation system during wartime.
We have already raised €100,000 and funded 6,000 food packages. Each one consists of flour, pasta, rice, salt, corn and wheat grits, oil, canned fish and meat, pâté, tea, condensed milk, sugar, and biscuits.

One food package costs approximately €17 / $20 / £15. There is still a need for 24,000 such packages. Therefore, even more financial donations are needed.
We encourage everyone to donate (in Euros, British Pounds, US Dollars or other leading currencies) on the secure payment platform of our verified charity partner United Way/WE AID:

We must not leave Ukrainian railway workers in this struggle. Remember that every donation, no matter how small, has a significant impact as it can help thousands of people.
Just €17/ $20/ £15 can make a real difference.
Please be generous!
