Story

Chepstow & District Rotary Club, in association with the Ukraine Community Hub in St Briavels, has been helping local Ukrainian families living in our area, financially, with clothing and with other assistance but now we want to help the people surviving in war torn Ukraine. We are a registered charity and this is genuine appeal for urgently needed funds to buy and supply generators.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

A 3.3kw good quality generator costs £500.00 delivered to Ukraine by a local supplier who is ready to help us. A generator will help a family survive this winter. The more generous the donations - the more and larger generators we can supply.

We already have a local source in position to supply and deliver generators to Ukraine - quickly!

A day rarely passes when the World doesn't hear of the tragic unfolding disaster in Ukraine. The situation in Ukraine is unimaginable to us. Many people get just three hours of electricity per day, not nearly enough to combat temperatures that rarely rise above freezing and are currently -18degC in parts of the Country.

Without electricity - life stops.

The situation will get even worse with further attacks on energy infrastructure. Without electricity much of Ukraine is in darkness with many areas having no light, no water, no heating and no internet vital for communication. Without electricity the water supply pumps stop, the sewage waste pumps stop, vital lifesaving hospital equipment stops. One maternity hospital recently had no power in temperatures of -16degC for two weeks! The situation will get even worse with further Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

To show how vital generators are, these are the words of a doctor in an oncology hospital in Ukraine:

Often during air alarms all diagnostic processes and lifts stop. Only 3 out of 7 operating rooms work at all, with one backup generator powering the operating room, resuscitation and children's oncology units. When the electricity is cut, the entire 9-story hospital with surgical inpatients is knocked out, the elevators do not work, the haematology and bone marrow transplant centre cant function. The palliative centre (hospice) and chemotherapy treatment processes cannot be continued. We don't know what will happen today, tomorrow. what will happen to the operations postponed from yesterday, how can patients be delivered to the operating room, how can operations be carried out, how how how?

In President Zelenskyy's recent plea for help he stated :

Generators have become as important as armour in helping Ukraine to survive this winter. The latest Russian bombardment is nothing less than blackout and energy terror, creating a desperate situation that has left as many as 12 million Ukrainians without power to heat their homes.
