Hygiene products / food with a sufficient best-before date

Help us - support the people in Ukraine!

We are Project NADIYA, a non-profit organization based in Frankfurt am Main. From here, we organize aid transports to Ukraine to support the civilian population in the most affected regions.

You can help! In addition to monetary donations, donations in kind are also urgently needed. Currently, various hygiene items such as toothbrushes, soap, incontinence material, diapers and menstrual products are particularly needed. We are also happy to receive non-perishable food items such as tinned food, pasta or flour - these should be in their original packaging and have a long shelf life.

Do you have other donation ideas? Please get in touch with us!
