150 000 Kharkiv residents have had their homes destroyed, and thousands more have had their houses damaged
also taken out power and heating grids, crippling people’s ability to heat their homes to liveable levels
According to WHO, Kharkiv’s population is one of the most vulnerable in Ukraine when it comes to cold weather risk due to a large number of residents being elderly, ill, disabled and injured, or inadequately housed.
Winter temperatures in Ukraine range between -4.8°С to 2°C, which has raised sharp fears about people dying from hypothermia, exacerbated chronic health conditions, and respiratory diseases such as COVID 19.
As more Ukrainians return home, providing them with adequate heating becomes critical.
Mission Kharkiv launched a project to provide households with solid fuel heating boilers. These boilers can operate independent of a power or heating grid and are maximally easy to produce. We are focusing on providing these to private homes in rural and newly-liberated settlements as these tend to be the most affected by fighting, strikes, and a lack of access to public services.
