Dressing with Dignity: Clothing for Ukraine’s Amputees

Dressing with Dignity: Clothing for Ukraine’s Amputees

The war in Ukraine has caused unimaginable loss, including life-changing injuries for thousands of individuals. By August 2023, it was estimated that there were up to 50,000 amputees in Ukraine - a number that has since continued to rise. These individuals face immense challenges in adapting to their new circumstances, including finding clothing that accommodates their prostheses.


Specially designed inclusive clothing can play a crucial role in restoring dignity, comfort and confidence for amputees. UAID International has partnered with LAD Volunteers Charity Fund in Ukraine to provide such clothing. Together, they are creating trousers designed specifically for amputees, featuring zippers, side fasteners and adjustable trouser-leg lengths. These functional yet stylish garments ensure ease of access to prosthetics while supporting social integration and post-injury adaptation.


Why This Project is Important

Dignity in Everyday Life: Amputees often struggle with the limited availability of suitable clothing. Providing inclusive trousers helps individuals feel more confident and comfortable in their daily lives.

Practical Support: These specially designed trousers simplify access to prostheses and accommodate a wide range of needs, from size and fit to climate requirements.

Expanding Impact: With your help, production can grow to meet the increasing demand, ensuring that more amputees have access to these vital garments.

Who Benefits: This project helps not only war veterans but also civilians who lost their legs when their homes were bombed. Many of them have lost both their homes and their limbs. Any civilian without legs, no matter the cause, can also apply for support.


Cost Breakdown

The cost of production depends on the season:

  • Warm Season: £14–£22 per pair (£18 average)

  • Cool Season: £22–£30 per pair (£26 average)

Currently, LAD Volunteers can produce 100 pairs of trousers per month, but this falls far short of the growing need. Every donation contributes directly to increasing production and supporting more amputees across Ukraine.


How You Can Help

Your donation, no matter the size, helps ensure that every amputee has access to clothing that supports their independence and dignity. All trousers are delivered to recipients completely for free. By funding the production of inclusive trousers, you can have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by war.

First Aid Training for Schools in Ukraine

First Aid Training for Schools in Ukraine

With the war in Ukraine affecting every part of life, teaching first aid skills in schools is more critical than ever. Unfortunately, many Ukrainian schools lack the equipment needed for effective first aid training. For instance, without proper training mannequins, students and teachers are unable to practise crucial life-saving techniques that could truly help in real emergencies.


We’ve partnered with the Ukrainian Community of Bradford-on-Avon to raise funds for first aid training at Pavlo Chubynskyi Boryspil Lyceum, a school located just outside Kyiv. Our goal is to ensure that both students and teachers have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide first aid, particularly during the ongoing war.


We need to raise just over £5000 to make this project a reality.


Your support will help us:

  • Purchase training mannequins and other essential first aid equipment

  • Provide high-quality first aid training to both students and teachers

  • Equip the school with the resources needed to sustain this vital training


Why This Project is Important:

  • First aid saves lives: The skills taught during this training can make the difference between life and death, especially in a war zone.

  • Empowering the next generation: By training both students and teachers, we equip them to act quickly in emergencies, helping those in need during these challenging times. 


How You Can Support Ukrainian Schools: Your donation will directly contribute to improving the quality of first aid training in Ukrainian schools, helping students and teachers become better prepared to respond in critical situations.

Bring Dental Care to War-Affected Areas

Bring Dental Care to War-Affected Areas

The war in Ukraine has taken a staggering toll on the country’s health-care system, leaving many without access to essential services, including dental care. In regions near the frontline, people are suffering due to the lack of proper health support. This is where you can help make a real difference. 


We are working alongside Aurora Aid and Emergency Aid for Ukraine to raise funds for a special initiative – the Dental Truck project. This mobile dental clinic will bring crucial dental care to those affected by the war, providing both routine and emergency treatments in the Kharkiv region, close to the frontline.


A wonderful couple from Bristol, UK donated a Horse box to be used by ETOC near the frontline, in the Kharkiv region in Ukraine. Now we need your help to complete the project and get the Dental Truck fully operational.


Your donation will help us:

  • Purchase the remaining dental equipment to offer comprehensive care

  • Buy a new spare wheel and tyre for safe travel

  • Cover vehicle insurance and road tax


Why Your Support is Critical: By donating to this project, you will help bring relief to people in Ukraine affected by the war. 


The Dental Truck will provide:

  • Regular dental care for civilians who no longer have access to treatment

  • Emergency dental services for those suffering from war-related injuries and acute pain


How You Can Support Ukraine: Your donation, whether large or small, will directly support Ukrainians who are in desperate need of dental care. Together, we can help alleviate their suffering and provide essential services that will have a lasting impact on their health and well-being.

Deliver Life-Saving Ambulances and Evacuation Vehicles to Ukraine

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has created an urgent need for ambulances and evacuation vehicles to transport casualties and deliver medical supplies.

Landmine Detection in Ukraine with Advanced Technology

Landmine Detection in Ukraine with Advanced Technology

With roughly 30% of Ukraine’s territory affected by combat operations, an area equivalent to the size of England and Wales combined, vast regions are now riddled with dangerous landmines.
