Support Ukraine in 2023: 10 impactful ways to change the world…

Living in Ukraine in 2023 is hugely challenging. We’re facing a multitude of problems, including persistent conflict in some regions and economic hardships. But, this isn’t the time to lose hope and everyone can make a difference. There are many ways you can help and support our country and have a positive impact on the lives of Ukrainians. Let’s take a look at 10 practical ways YOU can support Ukraine in 2023:

1. Make a charitable donation

Donating to a reputable charity is one of the most direct and efficient ways to support Ukraine. Our charity fund is 100% committed to helping vulnerable Ukrainians and funding long-term development initiatives in Ukraine. Your gift will enable us to support projects for economic and educational development, as well as helping individuals in need of food, housing and medical care. You can donate here.

2. Purchase goods from Ukraine

Use your purchase power! Purchasing goods made in Ukraine is a smart and effective way to support our country. It contributes to economic growth in Ukraine and helps with job creation, benefitting individuals and the wider community. So, look out for anything labeled “Made in Ukraine” and think about supporting smaller, regional enterprises.

3. Join a Ukrainian organization as a volunteer or employee

We need your skills! If you have time and resources, consider helping a Ukrainian organization by volunteering or working there. Anything, from assisting with neighborhood initiatives, to teaching English or offering other skills is appreciated – we’re looking for a wide range of skills. Not only will you improve the lives of people you assist, you’ll also develop new connections and gain useful experience. We have opportunities for volunteers.

4. Raise awareness and advocate for change

This is so important. You can help Ukraine by lobbying for change and raising awareness of the problems we’re experiencing. For instance, you could post information on social media, write to your elected officials, take part in protests or engage in other advocacy activities. You can influence change and contribute to the development of a more just and equitable world by speaking up and drawing attention to the conflict in Ukraine.

5. Invest in Ukrainian companies

Investing in Ukrainian businesses can help to promote economic expansion and job creation. It’s such a powerful force for change and individuals and communities can reap the benefit. Consider using crowdfunding sites to invest in Ukrainian equities, funds or even start-up companies. Join us as a corporate partner.

6. Get familiar with Ukrainian culture

Learning more about Ukraine and its wonderful culture is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate your support. Watch movies, read books and stay up to date with Ukrainian news and social media. This fosters mutual understanding and forms strong, personal links, which hugely benefits our country and its future.

7. Support Ukrainian cultural institutions and artists

Help to boost and promote Ukraine’s rich cultural legacy and build a favorable image of our amazing country by supporting Ukrainian artists and cultural institutions. This could mean going to concerts, touring museums or buying Ukrainian art. It may not feel like much, but you’re helping to support the continuation of Ukrainian culture and ensure younger generations get the opportunity to appreciate its depth and splendour.

8. Advocate for peace

We need to keep spreading this message. Many people are experiencing ongoing suffering and displacement as a result of conflict in some parts of Ukraine – it’s relentless. It’s important to speak out in favor of peace and contribute to peaceful advocacy, calling for an end to the bloodshed and working tirelessly to foster regional stability and security. You could express your opinion on social media, participate in peace demonstrations and sign petitions in support of peace.

9. Support children’s education

Children are the future of Ukraine. Supporting our children’s education can improve their lives for the better and build a stronger country in the long run. Education is one of the most effective tools for building a brighter and more prosperous future. You could help to fund a child’s education, serve as a tutor or contribute to Ukraine’s educational institutions.

10. Support Ukraine’s refugees

This conflict extends far beyond our country’s borders. Many refugees from Ukraine are now living elsewhere in Europe or North America. Their lives have been uprooted and they rely on support from caring hosts who are willing to help. Refugees need food, shelter, employment, education and ongoing support. Find out how you can help Ukrainian refugees in your local area, or make a donation to help refugees rebuild their lives.
