About Insulate Ukraine

A locally led response to shattered windows and damaged homes.

Insulate Ukraine is a locally led humanitarian organization helping people affected by the war in Ukraine remain in their homes. We design and install low-cost emergency replacement windows that restore warmth, daylight, and a measure of normality while creating paid local work.

Our mission

Rebuild war-torn communities along Ukraine’s frontline.

We rebuild war-torn communities along Ukraine’s frontline with a low-cost, easily installed emergency replacement window. By leading with innovation, we support individuals, strengthen communities, and drive local economic recovery.

Why emergency windows matter

A practical response when conventional glass no longer makes sense.

Broken windows leave homes exposed to rain, wind, and severe winter temperatures. Conventional replacement glass is often unaffordable and can become life-threatening if another blast shatters it again the following day.

Our emergency replacement window provides a fast, low-cost alternative while permanent repairs remain impossible.

Produced and installed locally, each window helps protect a household while supporting employment inside war-affected communities.

Local production

Built close to the communities receiving support.

Local manufacturing keeps practical knowledge, employment, and decision-making close to the people living with the damage.
