Energy and water for Ukraine !

Cost Phase 1 : 200.000€

The Medical Aid Committee provides energy for essential structures.

Access to water is also a priority. We install temporary emergency supply tanks and generators to power water pumps.

Most generators and water equipment are purchased, but we have also received donations of used equipment in good condition from companies.

Energy and water for Ukraine

Results

The Medical Aid Committee has distributed more than 1,400 generators and portable power stations. The power of the generators varies between 3 and 2,000 KVA. The value of the generators sent by our French and Swiss partners alone exceeds €2.3 million.

We have distributed more than 6 million purification tablets, 10,000 flexible jerry cans, dozens of flexible tanks and pumps. We have also rehabilitated several wells following the Kakhovka dam disaster. Generators for water pumps have been installed in the oblasts of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv and Odessa, among others.

All the water and energy equipment represents the equivalent of more than 25 semi-trailers.

Energy and water for Ukraine

Why this project

Every day, Russian missiles strike Ukraine's energy production system, making daily life increasingly uncertain. The resilience of Ukraine's energy system has improved thanks to a relevant strategy: the combination of new energy resources enabling the implementation of hybrid systems (solar/fuel), a more decentralised distribution of production sites, the creation of cogeneration plants, and the modernisation and protection of power stations. All of this has reduced overall vulnerability.

However, power cuts sometimes last up to 20 hours a day after intense bombing. It therefore remains vital to provide generators to enable essential structures and the population to cope.

Water is also sometimes out of service due to a lack of electricity. In areas close to the front line, it is impossible to repair the water supply system. Small pumps must therefore be used in existing wells or reserves created in flexible tanks.

Project beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of the projects are hospitals, health centres, orphanages, district heating services, air-raid shelters, and warming centres or invincibility points. Several hundred facilities have received a generator or portable power station. Water supply equipment was distributed in villages near the front line and during the Kakhovka dam disaster.

How we are implementing this project

We have a logistics base in Uzhgorod, in western Ukraine. After assessing needs, the equipment is then transported to the final recipients.

We are partners with Nova Posta, which transports some of the aid received free of charge. The Medical Aid Committee operates throughout Ukraine, based on the needs identified by our network of trusted partner associations and local authorities across the country. In some regions, the Medical Aid Committee has its own representatives.

The coordination of humanitarian aid is essential to meet specific needs and avoid duplication of humanitarian aid. The Medical Aid Committee is a member of the National Health Cluster led by the World Health Organisation. It also works in consultation with the WASH Cluster for water and sanitation.

It is also one of the recognised partners of the United Nations inter-agency system for emergency response to attacks and for the winter response programme.
