Ukrainians living in the frontline are struggling without gas, electricity, and heating. They cook outside and warm up by campfires. We can provide them with critically needed gas burners to cook inside and heat their houses in winter.
Join us to help entire families survive the cold months.
200 GAS BURNERS
Enough to supply 200 independent households
As of December 31, we are halfway to our goal with $10,539.55 raised. This allows us to buy gas burners for 105 households!
It’s fast and easy way for people to cook food – outside campfires are not an option in winter. We can’t let families starve and freeze to death.
Why Gas Burners are the best option:
Our current goal: $20,000. It's enough to supply 200 independent households
Buy one burner with fill-up to supply one family
Donate any contributing amount to top up the overall amount
The trip is planned to make it in time before the coldest nights. You can help us with any amount – every dollar helps
UkraineNow & Law for People gather efforts for Vovchansk, a small town located 3 km from the Russian border. Our partners from “Law for People" have made dozens of “runs” into the danger zone to deliver tons of food, hygiene supplies, and most immediate aid to the frontlines. On their recent trip to Kupiansk, they delivered 5 tons of humanitarian aid.
With funding, their next trip will bring back the ability to cook and warm up houses to people living in the frontline territories.
Read more about the recent trip to Kupiansk here.

$22 970, or 250 gas burners were delivered to Balabyne, Kushugum, and Malokaterynivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, 15km from the frontline.
Campaign run by UkraineNow & Law for People
Since the beginning of war, large territories of Ukraine were occupied. These regions were instantly cut-off from electricity, gas or water. At their own risk, civilians cooked outside their homes and bomb shelters as none of amenities were available.
Even at danger to get under the shelling, cooking outside was crucial to survive.
After liberation, they are still in danger as the war continues. While the whole Ukraine is bombed daily, frontline villages suffer hourly.
Located just 15 km to the war, russian howitzers reach houses easily, causing massive damage and losses. For people there, the air raid never stops.
“Anytime people hear a whistling sound, they just fall on the ground. They never wait”
- Artem Solomakha, founder of Law for People
During winter, shellings cause outages of gas and electricity that last for days. A solution should have saved civilians from the danger & help them warm up during colds.
With the initiative of Law for People, a solution has been found: a gas burner. It’s fast and easy way for people to cook food inside their homes– outside campfires are not an option in winter. The price of one gas burner with a fill-up was $100.

UkraineNow sent a call to donors to collect $20,000.
That would be enough to provide 250 gas burners with one fill-up – so people could start using them immediately.
Donors from the US, the UK and other countries in Europe couldn't let families starve and freeze to death.
The money was collected in less than 2 months.
91 generous people donated $22 970 in total. The amount varied from $5 to $11900 – each transaction made this whole humanitarian mission possible.
Our friends from Law for People, who were in charge for delivery, chose Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region, as the main destination for gas burners.
Unfortunately, volunteers couldn’t reach the village. The road was too dangerous due to the activity of enemy drones and artillery.
To ensure gas burners reach households ASAP, volunteers delivered them to Balabyne, Kushugum and Malokaterynivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, just 15 km from the frontline.
Volunteers delivered the gas burners in a one-week trip. The main priority was given to large families with children and elderly people. Law for People also organized the fill-up procedure for people together with authorities.
Together with gas burners, volunteers brought food boxes.
Every food box was purchased thanks to monthly subscriptions. One donation per month feeds another family.
We continue our close co-operation with Law for People. Their trips are extremely dangerous as they visit the Donetsk, Kherson, and other heavily damaged regions. Civilians need help there the most.
We'd wish to supply them with anything that people need on the ground. Thanks to generous donors, we're capable to do so.
The war isn't getting easier or slower. We are thankful to everyone who helps us adapt quickly and stay resilient to new challenges 🙏
"We wanted to ask people to give us some quotes about their life for a video. But they refused. Why? People live in fear that there will be another occupation soon. Even if it's a temporary one. Civilians understand that they will have to survive it somehow.
Not that they are ready to accept it – but they understand that they may temporarily have to wait until they are liberated by the Armed Forces. Therefore, we provided them with gas burners in a very timely manner"
