Generators, heaters, power stations. PCPM sends substantial aid to Ukraine
Ukraine’s energy system is still struggling with a severe crisis resulting from multiple Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Damaged power plants, substations, and heating plants cause regular power outages in many regions of the country, along with disruptions in heating and water supply.
As soon as the devastating shelling began, which led to the energy crisis in Ukraine, PCPM immediately sprang into action with aid. Generator sets were delivered to Bucha, as well as to the most needy in Zaporizhzhia and to firefighters.
Winter makes the situation particularly difficult. Even though the harshest frosts have passed, people still need heating, and above all, electricity. After attacks on heating plants, thousands of buildings in many places remain without heat.
In such conditions, generator sets and mobile energy sources become crucial for the operation of hospitals, schools, municipal infrastructure, or administrative points. That’s why PCPM continues to engage in delivering energy and heating equipment to Ukrainian communities.
Aid from Poland
The Polish Center for International Aid Foundation (PCPM) has prepared another shipment of humanitarian aid worth over 670,000 PLN. We were able to carry it out thanks to financial support from Donors – the Biedronka Foundation, PKO Bank Polski Foundation, Allegro Foundation, and many individual donors.
Among the donated equipment are, among others:
- generator,
- heaters,
- power stations,
- equipment for modular towns for people who lost their homes as a result of the war.
The equipment is intended to help provide energy, heating, and basic functioning of public institutions during power outages.
Support for Bucha and Vorzel
Part of the shipment will go to the Bucha community in the Kyiv region. After formal acceptance by the City Council, the aid will be handed over to the Social Policy Department, which manages modular towns for internally displaced persons. The equipment will support, among others, the operation of the modular town in Vorzel.
Aid for public infrastructure
The equipment will also be transferred to other public institutions and local communities in Ukraine. Support will be received by, among others, the National Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery and Inherited Pathology in Kyiv.
Generators will also go to key elements of municipal infrastructure in the Kyiv region. The equipment will be handed over to, among others:
- Pereiaslav – for the municipal enterprise responsible for the heating system,
- Zolochiv community – for a high school along with a boiler room and civil defense shelter,
- Fastiv city – for the municipal boiler house serving residential buildings,
- Bucha – for social institutions and administrative service centers.
Support will also go to the special-purpose rescue and firefighting unit of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Vinnytsia region.
Energy for hospitals and clinics
Thanks to cooperation with the Ukrainian public organization “Hadyach Community Growth Forum,” power stations will be transferred to many medical and educational facilities, including the Primary Health Care Center in Biletsk, the hospital in Masyivka, or Gymnasium No. 2 in Hradysk.
Additionally, the village of Maksymivka will receive a generator set to provide residents with access to drinking water.
Support during the energy crisis
Energy aid is today one of the most important forms of support for Ukraine. In many localities, generators and mobile power stations allow hospitals to keep running, residential buildings to stay heated, or access to basic public services.
The shipment prepared by PCPM and Polish partners is intended to help more communities survive the period of energy outages and ensure basic safety for residents.
