De Leeuw Kyiv is een hulporganisatie voor Oekraïne die draait op vrijwilligers. Wij voeren meerdere malen per week transporten uit van humanitaire hulpgoederen. Elke donatie wordt direct gebruikt voor ons doel: Mensen in Oekraine helpen de russische invasie te overleven. De initiatiefneners zijn Nederlanders met meer dan 20 jaar woon- en werkervaring in Oekraïne. Ze hebben een groot netwerk en betrouwbare contacten tot diep in Oekraïne. Al sinds de eerste dagen van de oorlog is de stichting volledig gericht op het verlenen van humanitaire hulp aan het land dat zich inmiddels al meer dan vier jaar verdedigt tegen de gewelddadige russische aggressor. De stichting heeft een ANBI-status wat inhoudt dat een financiële donatie aftrekbaar is van de belasting.
The Lion Kyiv organises and supplies relief supplies to Ukraine where they are most needed, to civilians and military, in places where other relief organizations often do not come.
De Leeuw Kyiv organiseert en levert hulpgoederen naar Oekraïne waar die het meest nodig zijn, aan burgers en militairen, op plekken waar andere hulporganisaties vaak niet komen.
