Medical Supplies Shipment to Ukraine

Connect Foundation initiated its first project by facilitating a crucial shipment of medical supplies to the Herson region of Ukraine. This initiative was made possible through a connection with an organization dedicated to the refurbishment and rescue of medical supplies. Demonstrating a shared commitment to humanitarian aid, they generously agreed to donate $500,000 worth of essential medical items, on the condition that Connect Foundation covers the freight costs. By successfully delivering these supplies to field hospitals, we are directly contributing to the urgent care of wounded soldiers and civilians, ensuring they receive the life-saving treatment needed amidst the crisis.
