It is becoming increasingly difficult to support political prisoners in Belarus, as the authorities are trying everything they can to break solidarity. Nevertheless, there are still ways in which you can support these people even from abroad!

We have launched the solidarity campaign #WeStandBYyou to support political prisoners and their families. As part of the campaign, several hundred MPs have already taken over a godparenthood for a prisoner in Belarus.

We support victims of state violence who need special assistance on their road to recovery. With donations and third-party funds, we organise medical treatments for released political prisoners in exile.

More than 16,000 Ukrainian civilians are being held illegally in prisons in Russia and the occupied territories. We explain why every postcard counts and how you can reach these people even from abroad.

For Belarusians who have been forced to leave their home country due to political persecution and repression or who are planning to do so, we offer free support in matters of residence law.

In many liberated areas of Ukraine, people lack the essentials to feed themselves. By distributing seeds, we enable them to grow fresh and healthy food – an important step back towards self-sufficiency.

Children along the front line are particularly affected by the consequences of Russia’s war of aggression. Many of them live in challenging conditions and have experienced fear and insecurity as a result of the ongoing fighting. In the midst of this everyday life, the Christmas presents are intended as a sign of hope and solidarity.

The SUNRISE Centre will become a rehabilitation centre for particularly affected groups, including people with disabilities, veterans, journalists, and human rights defenders. Our goal is to create a protected space for recovery and trauma recovery.

Russia’s targeted attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure are causing massive power outages of up to 10 hours a day. Together with AoS, we are helping people get through the winter warm and safe.

Together with X-Traverse, the mobile clinic brings medical care to remote villages around Kupjansk, where people have no access to health services due to the destroyed infrastructure.

The war deprives many children in Ukraine of the chance of a carefree childhood. In an underground children’s centre in Saltivka, one of the most damaged districts of Kharkiv, we support a safe space for playing, learning and being together.

In the combat-ridden areas of Ukraine, evacuations are often the only chance of survival for civilians. Together with AoS, we support the rescue of people from dangerous areas – despite the ongoing attacks on evacuation vehicles.

Since the start of the invasion, over 1.4 million homes have been destroyed or damaged, leaving people homeless. With Repair Together, we are helping with reconstruction to enable families to return to their homes.

We are strengthening care facilities in Ukraine to provide a safe home for elderly people who need care. Expanding capacities and ensuring heat supply sustainably improve their living conditions.

Together with Aid46, we are offering emergency medical training in Kharkiv. The courses teach civilians and first responders life-saving measures for treating injuries quickly and safely after shelling.
