Donation for the projects in Ukraine and Myanmar

last updated on 2022 Sep. 20th

We are calling for donations to the following two valuable projects! We highly appreciate if you could support us by donations as well as promoting to the people around you!
Till now, 27 donors have donated 289,200 JPY (2,066 USD)!

Helping abandoned animals in Ukraine!

(from Ms. Inga Vorobjova Executive Director of Union Forum: Partner NGO of NICE in Ukraine)

They are catastrophically increased since many owners left their pets when fleeing abroad, not able to take them and many people died where pets remained alone. This project has accepted over 1500 dogs and cats and picked up about 500 more abandoned on railway station.
Most of them were picked up by European volunteers and are currently in shelters in EU, but still few hundreds are here. The project coordinates humanitarian aid from Europe for both pets (food, treatment etc) and refugees (food, clothes, blankets, etc), those who didn't go abroad, but moved to more safe places in Ukraine. The aid does not remain only in Western Ukraine, but also moves to other parts where it is more needed such as Kyiv/ Chernihiv region, Kharkiv, Dnepr, etc, where a lot of people in need and abandoned pets.

BUT the project is VERY MUCH struggling with logistics. Unfortunately almost all donors bring humanitarian aid and drop it in Poland and do not bring it to Ukraine. So, we need to find the means to pick it up from Poland and bring in Lviv, then organise transport to the other regions. More than 20 tones of humanitarian aid is in our supporters' storages, but we struggle to bring and deliver it because we are simply running out of any funds to pay for transport and fuel. Each van, which can bring 1,5-2 tons, costs around 300 Euro to bring it from Poland, the lorry, which can take more costs 2-3 times more. The transport (fuel) for delivery over Ukraine even more, because of extremely expensive prices for fuel we have now and it is sometimes a 2000+ kilometers return trip. Your collaboration is urgently needed!!

* 75% of donation will be directly used on the activities mainly, fuel to carry the stuffs while 25% will be used for the coordination/ organization.
* In the future when possible, NICE would like to send the volunteers to the project.

Organic Farming for IDPs in Myanmar!

(from Ms. Thazin Aung, NGO Organizer: Partner NGO of NICE in Myanmar)
* Name of NGO is not mentioned here due to the safety reason.

Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are increased and living in the very hard conditions. The presenting NGO has been supporting IDP Camps by providing shelters, food, health care and education. They are planning an organic farming project by renting the land near IDPs camps where IDP people will grow the organic crops that can develop their job sklills and opportunities, get some income and cover their food consumtion to contribute to improve their quality, self-reliance and stability of life.

However, the fund is absolutely lacked. Renting 1 acre (0.4 ha) of the land costs around 2,500 USD and we also need to buy the crops (1,000 USD or more) and tools (around 500 USD), so your collaboration is urgently needed!!

* 75% of donation will be directly used on the activities mainly, renting the land and buying the tools/ materials for the farming while 25% will be used for the coordination/ organization.
* In the future when possible, NICE would like to send the volunteers to the project.
