📍 Uzhhorod, Kyiv Oblast, and surrounding settlements, Ukraine
Number of beneficiaries (Direct) : 250
This emergency relief project supported 250 people affected by the war in Ukraine through the distribution of essential items including food, hygiene products, clothing, and medicine. The aid targeted internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in temporary settlements, helping them meet their basic needs during crisis conditions.
🕊️ Supporting women affected by conflict
In the Water, Animals and Plants for a Peaceful and Sustainable Ethiopia II project, psychosocial support activities helped identify an urgent need among conflict-affected and vulnerable women-headed households in the project area.
In response, 35 women-headed households received essential food assistance and 70 litres of edible oil, helping cover basic household food needs for approximately two months.
The distribution was carried out with the participation of Peace Ambassadors and community representatives, alongside field verification and documentation.
This activity forms part of the project’s broader work to support recovery, psychosocial wellbeing, resilience, and social cohesion in communities affected by conflict.
We are grateful to our implementing partner AgriServiceEthiopia, and the contribution of @ville_de_geneve, Commune de Collonge-Bellerive, Commune de Vandœuvres, and Commune de Chêne-Bourg for making this possible.

💧A New Well, Closer to the Community
A new hand-dug well has been successfully completed in Bibugn, Ethiopia, as part of the "Water, Animals and Plants for a Sustainable and Peaceful Ethiopia II" project (WAP II). 🎉
While WAP II is made possible thanks to the continued support of our regular donors, this additional well was funded thanks to the generosity of all the participants of @raceforgift 🌟 Their contributions allowed us to build one more water point for the community.
The well provides cleaner, safer and more accessible water to 399 community members, including 202 women and girls and 197 men and boys — previously reliant on a distant river and an unprotected spring, which made water collection difficult and increased exposure to waterborne diseases.🚰
This achievement was made possible through the active participation of the community, whose commitment supported the construction from start to finish. 🤝
We are also grateful to our implementing partner Agri Service Ethiopia for their work on the ground.
Thank you to everyone at Race for Gift — your generosity is changing lives in Bibugn! 🙏💙

Solar Energy Update: Powering Olive Farms in Al-Bab ☀️
Our solar units are still hard at work in the field, serving around 10 farmers each per month and irrigating up to 200-250 trees a day. 🌿
Units are fully booked through the month, with new booking lists already being prepared for the weeks ahead.
Our team has seen firsthand the impact this technology is having on the ground: helping farmers decrease irrigation costs and reduce fuel consumption. 💧
We are grateful to our partner @iaco_sy and to the generous support of the NextEnergy Foundation 🙏
