During times of peace, the Charitable Foundation «Kharkiv IT Cluster» works with youngsters to strengthen the culture of entrepreneurship and management efficiency in Ukraine. To do so, we create ecosystems that are closely aligned with business reality. In times of war, the Foundation’s principal tasks are to help rescue services, provide humanitarian aid to victims and displaced persons, and safeguard civilians.

Russia’s aggression has tenfold increased the burden on Ukraine’s rescue services.

Ukrainian heroic rescuers execute their duties selflessly, but they lack basic goods like boots, clothing, helmets, goggles, and gloves, as well as special rescue equipment that would greatly increase their efficiency.

The story told to us by a rescuer from Ukraine’s emergency service’s Chernihiv garrison left us utterly speechless. A controlled inspection of the house’s ruins using a thermal imaging camera (a gadget that allows you to view heat radiation that humans can’t see) revealed ten victims among the wreckage and the building’s remains, where it was no longer hoped to discover people alive. The rescuer’s attention and high-quality equipment saved them.

The purpose of this fundraiser was to gather money for the purchase of thermal imaging cameras for fire and rescue units in the Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions.

It is necessary to purchase and transfer 6 special apparatuses for rescuers such as FLIR K45.

One costs 150400.00 UAH, including VAT. Total amount: 902400.00 UAH, including VAT.

The project was made possible by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service and the Educational Initiatives Foundation.
