About

Our Mission: Deliver precision aid to foster the health and wellbeing of Ukrainian people in the face of war and its consequences.

Our Vision: Help rebuild a thriving clinical care and research enterprise in Ukraine, in partnership with its healthcare professionals and academics.

Our Strategy: Fill the gaps left by current non-profit efforts for medical and mental health needs in Ukraine. Succeed in this with Precision Support of Critical Care Providers with medical supplies and skill building and Mental Health Care providers with training and care infrastructure.

DU4U’s aid is specific.  We know what is needed because we are in direct contact with doctors in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kyiv, Mykolaiv and Lviv hospitals.

DU4U can meet the needs quickly because we work with and pay directly to companies/providers in Ukraine and Poland. This approach drastically hastens delivery.
