How to Help Ukrainians from Kazakhstan

The most significant figure in helping Ukraine is Togzhan Kozhaly, head of this initiative, a prominent public activist and philanthropist. The Ukrainian aid movement in Kazakhstan is led by women. Kogzhan publishes the latest news about the Headquarters for Assistance to Ukraine on her Facebook page, where you can learn where and what kind of help is needed.

If you are in Kazakhstan, there are three ways to help.

Collect humanitarian aid.

We accept clothing, food, hygiene products, medicines, and pet food. To simplify sorting, everything should be packaged separately by category: groceries (cereals, canned foods, nuts, dried fruit, cookies); items (clothes, shoes, blankets, towels, plaids and other textiles); hygiene (all feminine hygiene products, tissues, diapers, toilet paper); household goods (power banks, tableware, pacifiers, sleeping pads, flashlights); medical supplies (syringes, bandages, iodine, antipyretics).

Volunteers have been collecting aid since the first days of the war. The Headquarters for Humanitarian Support for Ukraine has been set up at the Ukrainian Embassy in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Since the beginning of the war, nine airplanes and three trucks have already delivered more than 140 tons of humanitarian cargo from Kazakhstan collected by the volunteers of the Headquarters. 

Each box going to Ukraine comes with an insert with the flags of the two countries and the text «To the people of Ukraine from the people of Kazakhstan.»
