Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion in Ukraine, we have been providing protective gear, security, and resilience training to journalists and civil society organizations working on the frontlines. We have become part of the infrastructure that ensures the resilience of civil society in the face of Russian aggression.
Our mission is to help citizens survive and maintain resilience in times of crisis and war. This is now under threat due to the suspension of funding from the US, the UK and the general reduction of civil society support programs in Europe.
We have trained over 1,200 journalists, media professionals, war crimes documenters, and humanitarian workers working in frontline areas in Ukraine in security, first aid, and resilience skills. This program has proven to be very effective.
We appeal to our recipients, alumni, ambassadors, representatives of civil society, businesses, international organizations, donors, and all who see the point in fighting the aggressor, to help us get through this crisis together. Without your support, these safety programs will be at risk of closure, and journalists and aid workers on the front lines will be left vulnerable.
To survive this crisis, we are launching a crowdfunding campaign to provide safety and mental resilience training, security consultations, and access to a knowledge base for media and civil society organizations in Ukraine for the next 3 months. This way, we will be able to provide critical support free of charge and continuously.
