Ne sami

The length of Ukraine's front line with the Russian army is about 3,700 km.
According to Donetsk police data for June 2023, ≈ 500,000 civilians still remain in the front-line territories. The reasons are different, but when the departure finally happens, the most important question arises - how and where to live next. The state is taking certain steps in this direction, but they are not enough.

The volunteer initiative "Ne Sami" (Not Alone) helps people to leave dangerous areas, find housing, and adapt to a new place. For this, a team of volunteers conducts an information campaign in the front-line territories in order to spread information about evacuation to civilians as best as possible, evacuate people with pets, and as many things as they consider necessary to take. If there are complex situations, for example, it is necessary to transport a large number of domestic animals, a personalized solution is sought. If a family cannot use public transport under certain circumstances, they take such a family by their own transport from point A to point B without transfers or organize a comfortable remote evacuation. On the spot, people are offered options for permanent housing, which will remain with them even after the end of the war.

Hundreds of people found new housing during the initiative. What's more, each family is assigned a manager who helps with adaptation with psychological support, medical care, help with documents, finding schools and jobs, and more. Also, together with Victory Beats , the organization held a separate collection for the urgent evacuation of 50 women and children from the front-line zone in May 2024.

A special musical opportunity to support the project

German-based Anglo-Swiss group Lebanon Hanover released a double single "Better Than Going Under"/"Kyiv". The second song, of course, is dedicated to the capital of Ukraine. Embodying poignant reflections on the harsh reality faced by those caught up in war-torn regions. All income from the release of the track will be given to "Ne Sami" - to help people and families who are near the front line in Ukraine.
