Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

Mobile help service “Social Patrol” – provides outdoor feeding and assistance to people in need:

•Lonely elderly
•Disabled children and their families
•Children from large or broken families
•Homeless people
•Ex-prisoners
•Disabled people
•Other groups of population in need

What is your project and how will it help?

3 specially equipped cars travel all over the city of Kyiv, 7 days a week and feed more than 1000 people in need every day: children from large families, lonely aged persons, the homeless and other people in distress. The total length of all car routes is a bit more than 300km every day.

The project idea is to be within call, when our help is needed.

There are 30,000 people in need in Kyiv at this date. And they all need our help and support. We help as many as possible according to our resources. We will extend an area of our service activity through your contributions.

A lonely old lady who suffered an apoplectic stroke, and who lives in Kyiv remote area, once said to our social worker: “My hands are shaking so hard that I am not able to cook anything. I think I wouldn’t have survived without your “Patrol” When we hear such words we understand – we do good cause!

Besides feeding, “Social Patrol” workers render first aid or call an ambulance. They also distribute warm clothing in winter and consult people, telling where to go for help.

The state doesn’t support such an important social project.
