Yesterday, a new batch of humanitarian aid from the German charity organization Heidenheim für Ukraine arrived to Trostyanets city hromada. This organization, which has been supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the war, continues to provide assistance in the areas of healthcare and infrastructure.
Previously, Heidenheim für Ukraine provided the Trostianets City Hospital with the necessary medical equipment, including beds, cabinets, wardrobes, mattresses, wheelchairs, medicines and even a modern ultrasound machine. In addition, the community’s educational institutions were provided with tables and chairs.
“Today it is extremely important to ensure the sustainable operation of the energy system, as the energy sector suffers very often due to daily shelling. We are very grateful to the German benefactors from the Heidenheim für Ukraine organization for these powerful transformers. They can be used to strengthen the energy independence of sewage pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants or to repair substations in case of damage,” said Trostyanets Mayor Yuriy Bova, who personally met the valuable cargo.
The cooperation of Trostianets City Council with international charitable organizations is an important part of the community’s recovery process. Thanks to such initiatives, Trostianets not only receives the necessary resources, but also creates the basis for sustainable development.
Trostianets continues on its path of recovery and development, and the support of international partners such as Heidenheim-fuer-Ukraine plays a key role in this process.
“Heidenheim-fuer-Ukraine.de e.V.” is a non-profit and charitable association that was formed in response to Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The starting point was the spontaneously organized aid deliveries of medicines, bandages, medical products, food and everyday items.
The spontaneity gave rise to professional continuity: aid deliveries are made to different regions of Ukraine on a regular base. Our ever-growing network of contacts with Ukrainians in Heidenheim and in Ukraine itself ensures that Ukrainian needs are precisely known and that deliveries actually arrive locally.
After the start of aid deliveries to Ukraine, further activities quickly developed, so that we now have three main areas of activity:
- Aid deliveries to Ukraine and necessary fundraising activities.
- Caring for Ukrainian refugees in the region of Heidenheim in many ways and thus directly promotes their social integration.
- Cultural events with and by Ukrainian artists, not only for entertainment, but especially to make Ukrainian culture better known and to strengthen the ties between Germans and Ukraine, which in turn helps us with our fundraising activities.
On the 19th of March 2022 the meeting for the foundation of the non-profit and charitable association “Heidenheim-fuer-Ukraine.de e.V.” took place.
On the 14th of September 2022 “Heidenheim-fuer-Ukraine.de e.V.” was awarded with the German Citizen Award 2022 for the district of Heidenheim in the category “Everyday Heroes”.
As a constantly active and therefore increasingly visible civil society organization in Ukraine, “Heidenheim-fuer-Ukraine.de e.V.” was invited to and represented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 (URC 2024) in Berlin in June 2024.
