Help to save Ukrainian lives
We fundraise and deliver medical aid to support Hospitallers, a Ukrainian voluntary organization of paramedics who are saving lives right now.
Important fundraising for ambulances for the Hospitallers
Ambulances are the most essential tool for paramedics to provide first aid. With the help of our donors and partners, we have already managed to deliver 4 fully equipped ambulances to paramedics. However, more vehicles are needed!
We are launching a fundraiser for 5-6 more ambulances, which will help save the lives of the wounded and civilians.
Meet Hospitallers
Hospitallers is a Ukrainian voluntary organization of paramedics. Its members are doctors and people of various professions and ages who volunteered to join the first aid squad and deliver life-saving support to all in need.
In addition to helping people, Hospitallers also rescue and care for animals living in challenging conditions. Alongside saving human lives, they cannot turn a blind eye to the rescue of animals and do so through Hospitails and the Shelter of Kindness. They provide evacuation, medical treatment, and a safe haven for rescued animals.
The commander of the Hospitallers battalion, Yana Zinkevich, was included in the BBC list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2022.
Donations allow paramedics to receive the necessary equipment for providing emergency care and evacuating the wounded.
For almost 9 years, Hospitallers provide first medical and pre-medical assistance in Ukraine.
All paramedics receive medical training and first-aid courses at the Hospitallers training center. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 800 volunteers have studied at the center. Some have stayed with the Hospitallers crew, while others joined other units as paramedics.
If you want to help the paramedics and support their training center, participate in our fundraiser.
Training courses by the Hospitallers
Training by the Hospitallers continues to gain momentum and expand its reach. The paramedics have prepared courses on first aid and tactical medicine for both ordinary people and medical professionals. Prepare yourself for any emergency – train with Hospitallers!
These courses are only for Ukrainian language speakers, because the training takes place in Ukraine.
Hospitallers training center
Since the beginning of the ruzzian invasion, over 800 volunteers from all walks of life have been trained by our paramedic crews on how to provide emergency medical assistance and how to save human lives. We are proud that hundreds of those who have gone through our training programme are now saving lives amplifying our joint efforts.
