Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, millions of windows have been destroyed

Hundreds of thousands of households need to be restored, and in most cases people have to wait for more than a year for help. The way people get out of the situation is to repair the damage at their own expense and then wait for compensation, but unfortunately there are only a few people who can afford it. Others are forced to live with blocked window openings with improvised means: film, boards, chipboard, and also wait.

The situation in Ukraine is similar with social facilities: schools, kindergartens, hospitals, libraries... It is especially difficult for the border communities of Sumy region, which are under constant enemy fire. In order to help people whose homes were damaged as a result of hostilities and to assist in the restoration of social infrastructure, the team of the WEYS. charitable foundation has developed a program under which Ukrainians could receive windows that have already been used in Europe but are suitable for further use.

Thus, we see this project as having a double benefit: the first is to help people affected by the war, and the second is equally important - to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere, which are produced in the manufacture of windows.

To expand and establish a network for the reconstruction process, negotiations were held today with a representative of the Swiss-based NGO "RE-WIN", which is already helping Ukrainians by providing used windows that are of good quality and in a suitable condition for further use.
