Project NADIYA e.V. – Coming Together Where Help Is Needed the Most

The war in Ukraine has triggered a humanitarian crisis that continues to this day. In the chaotic early weeks, immediate, unbureaucratic aid was crucial – and that’s where Project NADIYA stepped in. As a spontaneous private initiative, we started in a small warehouse on the Ukrainian border, sorting private donations, coordinating transport, and establishing connections with local aid organizations.

What began as an improvised aid project has now grown into a registered association with a permanent base in Frankfurt am Main. From here, we regularly collect, pack, and ship humanitarian supplies – sending full 40-ton trucks directly to the most affected regions in southern Ukraine. Our focus: providing essential goods like (baby) food, hygiene items, and medical supplies to vulnerable groups – all the way to the front lines.

But our help doesn’t stop at transporting goods. In collaboration with local partners, we also provide emergency relief in liberated areas. Our goal: to support people who wish to stay in their homes despite the destruction around them. Last year, we were able to make over 500 homes habitable again, giving people a sense of dignity and safety.

Over the past two and a half years, we have learned that the support we provide cannot be measured by the number of pallets delivered. It is the renewed hope that people feel when they realize they haven’t been forgotten.

Надія (Nadiya) is the Ukrainian word for hope – and this is what we bring through our projects to those who had long lost it.
