About
Doshka Foundation..
The idea of this organisation is born a bit by accident during the Spring 2023. After a first experience of a few months as volunteers here in Kyiv, mostly supplying medical supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we came to the conclusion that the way humanitarian aid was provided was not the right one...
We started to think about Doshka Foundation as a non-profit that would do just the same as others regarding the substance, but everything differently regarding the methodology, the approach.

On top of this “new way” to help Ukraine, we almost
immediately decided that the help will cover 3 areas:

‘DEFEND’
Military support
What approach?
> NO COMPETITION > COLLABORATION in our vision, any “competition” with other volunteers/ NGOs is harmful & counterproductive, therefore we origin & encourage partnerships and synergies: cowarehousing, transport: sharing trucks & carpooling, promoting parnters & friends on social medias, sharing reliable suppliers, contacts & tips,
> PRIORITY given to Ukrainian network
(suppliers/manufacturers)
Defend - Support - Share
> NO SPECIALISED EQUIPMENT & NO LETHAL No equipment/supplies requiring expertise or license/authorization, without having a specialist within the team for consulting,
> NO RETAIL
