NGO & MISSION PRESENTATION

U-Saved’s principle is to recreate the link between those who give and those who receive. We were inspired by the exceptional solidarity the Ukrainian population immediately demonstrated at the beginning of the war back in February 2022, mobilizing everywhere to distribute humanitarian aid through a unique network of volunteers who set up perfectly mastered project management systems. The main objective of U-Saved’s actions is to seek greater efficiency of action through localization of aid through capacity building of local volunteer groups. All this for a greater and better quality of aid brought to the populations in need. We have developed several projects in the most impacted areas by the war. We launched the “Bread for Ukraine” operation and we distribute daily enough bread to cover the needs of 8,000 people in Khrakiv and Donetsk oblasts. We also implement food and non-food items distributions and we support the volunteers for the evacuation of the people stucked in war affected areas.
In the frame work of the increase of our activities, U-saved is looking for an experienced administrative officer in Dnipro.
