Support the city
Trostyanets is a naturally beautiful, culturally significant, and economically promising city in Northeastern Ukraine. The City has been devastated by Russian occupation and is in the initial stages of rebuilding.
What's the goal?
The City's most pressing need at the moment is electrical generators. Over the course of the war, Ukraine's power grid has been largely destroyed. Trostyanets cannot rebuild at all without electrical power. Much more than this, the intense cold of Ukrainian winters mean that providing the city with generators is a matter of life and death.
