About

The Leeuw Kyiv is an aid organisation for Ukraine that runs on volunteers. We carry out transports of humanitarian relief supplies several times a week. Each donation is used directly for our purpose: Helping people in Ukraine survive the Russian invasion. The initiators are Dutch people with over 20 years of living and working experience in Ukraine. They have a large network and reliable contacts to deep in Ukraine. Ever since the first days of the war, the foundation has been fully focused on providing humanitarian aid to the country that has been defending itself against the violent Russian aggressor for over four years now. The foundation has an ANBI status which means that a financial donation is deductible from …

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.

Mission

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.
