Summary report of #HELPNOW HUB for 2022 -2023: 20 months of continuous assistance for 37 thousand Ukrainians around the world

In March 2022, in response to the russian attack on Ukraine, a remarkable initiative was launched – #HelpNowHUB. In 20 months, this unique service, founded by the Alliance for Public Health, has provided more than 37,000 services for PLHIV and KPs in more than 50 countries and 200 cities around the world.

The initiative began by helping those who were victims of war, providing not only treatment but also psychological, legal, and social support in Ukraine and abroad. Thanks to Alliance Consultancy and the project “Emergency response in connection with the war to support internally displaced people within Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees abroad amongst the representatives of key populations and PLHIV” (Help Now Hub, Emergency Response, Regional Project SoS 2. 0), financial support from the Global Fund, and a partnership with the Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, #HelpNowHUB has rapidly grown to become an international hub with separate units in Germany, Poland, Moldova and the Baltic States, #HelpNowDoctors services, and a HelpNow Clinical Hub with key coordination-navigation-information functions.

From January to October 2023, #HelpNowHUB continued to provide continuity of services for Ukrainian refugees within the framework of the project “Providing emergency support to refugees from Ukraine and internally displaced persons among key population groups in Ukraine

and other host countries — Emergency Response Project, HelpNowHUB”,” with the assistance of the Alliance for Public Health and with financial support from AidsFonds

The #HelpNowHUB is a testament to the power of cooperation and the inexhaustible will that is born in times of crisis. Thanks to this initiative, it is clear that its impact goes beyond numbers and statistics. These are real people, real stories that have become symbols of courage and resilience.

Although the project’s implementation phase has ended, #HelpNowHUB remains alive thanks to the activists, NGOs, and lives it has impacted, strengthening communities and inspiring future development. Even in the absence of funding, the #HelpNow service and the Polish hub, #HelpNowPL, continue their noble work, providing continuous support to Ukrainian refugees on a volunteer basis. Their dedication and belief in the value of every life helped to register the HelpNow HUB NGO in Poland.

Promoting the unity of forces and expressing deep gratitude to everyone there for their heroic work. We believe that together we can overcome anything! That’s why we put not a full stop, but three at the end…

To be continued. 

#Glory to Ukraine!
