Since the start of Russia's war of aggression, many power plants in Ukraine have been severely damaged or destroyed. Without electricity, heating systems cannot function, water pumps are out of service, and hospitals are unable to perform surgeries.
Recently, the Military Medical Clinical Center of Lviv requested our assistance. The hospital is the medical center for the entire western part of Ukraine and covers seven regions, from Volyn in the north to Transcarpathia in the south. It has 700 beds, four intensive care units, and an entire floor dedicated to operating theaters.
In addition to injured soldiers, civilians are also treated there. The existing emergency generator no longer had sufficient power to operate all the necessary equipment and departments of the hospital.
We have already procured and delivered several large generators to Ukraine. Thanks to numerous donations, we were able to finance a suitable 700-kilowatt generator. This ensures that all buildings can now be supplied with power during an outage. Special thanks go to KWS SAAT SE, the AKB Foundation, and the Einbeck Diaconal Foundation in southern Lower Saxony for their generous support. We organized the customs clearance and transport to Lviv together with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church community and in coordination with the authorities.
Thanks in part to your donations, the yellow giant now tirelessly performs its service and reliably supplies the hospital with electricity.
At the beginning of February, we were also able to an entire truck with 43 smaller power generators to Ukraine. The 6-kilowatt devices benefited 17 refugee shelters, two long-term accommodations, and training and employment program centers across the country.
