Vulyk – Buzzing Help

Volunteer group for Kharkiv humanitarian effort, Ukraine

About Our Humanitarian Beehive

“Vulyk” means beehive in Ukrainian. In our Vulyk, each team member is responsible for their part of the work, just like bees in a beehive.

We deliver targeted humanitarian aid -- food and medicine -- to Kharkiv and the region, the area in the East of Ukraine which has been under constant bombardment since February 24. We also help citizens to evacuate from the dangerous territories.

Our flow of aid is smaller than that of large funds operating in Ukraine. But being a smaller volunteer group is our strength. If we accept the order, we 100% deliver on it in a week.

Our Effort

Finding and supplying medicine, including rare and hard-to-get drugs
Food deliveries across all districts of the city
Evacuating people and their pets to Poltava, a safe place to the West of Kharkiv

How You Can Help

Your donations allow us to purchase food supplies, medicine, and gas for our evacuation minivan.

Meet The People We Help

This lady is 92 years old. She lives with her husband in Saltivka, one of Kharkiv worst-hit areas. For our team, this dear lady is a legend. Despite the war and Russians bombing the house next door, she is not discouraged. This is the second war in her life, and she finds the strength to crack a joke.
These are the people from Maksymivka. This is a village in the Kharkiv region, where the government humanitarian aid is hard to get. So, we meet these needs ourselves.
And this is a man from the Kharkiv territorial defense. He ran out of insulin, so he turned to us for help.
At the beginning of the war, it was impossible to buy insulin in Kharkiv. There was no insulin in all of Ukraine.
Using our contacts, we were able to find a person who had a supply of insulin for himself, and we were lucky enough to buy a few doses for our defender.
