OneUkraine.com is a platform that bundles relief efforts, connects people and initiatives, and provides live updates so we can offer support in the most efficient and flexible way possible. In some way, we are a Ukrainian NGO-Incubator/Accelerator. We incubate efforts, we build platforms that multiply, we prototype, refine and scale initiatives in line with our mission. We have a full time, Ukrainian executive team and a broad set of capabilities, government partnerships and resources at our disposal. We have already raised €4m in donations and evacuated more than 5,500 refugees. And we want to do even more.
