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:

  • military (“DEFEND”),
  • economic (“SUPPORT”),
  • cultural (“SHARE”),

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

> NO RETAIL

  • bulk purchasing/ wholesale/ group purchasing organisation,
  • procurement directtly from manufacturers, large suppliers, wholesalers & distributors,
