About Us

There are 367,000 shattered windows across Ukrainian frontline towns. During winter, temperatures plummet to -20°C or below. No other humanitarian crisis in the world is happening in such a cold environment; the winter cold is being used by Russia as a weapon. No family can live safely at home in these conditions.

Insulate Ukraine was established as a non-profit in December 2022 to answer this problem. A team of engineers at The University of Cambridge developed a triple-layer window, made from PVC piping and polyethylene. It is manufactured 100% locally to Ukraine and costs us less than $20 to build and install. Thanks to our donors, we install these windows free of charge for our recipients.

Insulate Ukraine is a locally led franchise charity with operations across the Ukrainian frontline. We support people by insulting their homes, we support local communities by insulating public buildings, and provide economic resilience by providing work for local civic heroes.

Mission Statement

Insulate Ukraine, guided by empathy, trust, and innovation, empowers war-affected communities by rebuilding homes and fostering resilience. Through innovative solutions, we support individuals, strengthen communities, and drive local economic recovery.

Our Values

Empathy

Placing empathy at the heart of our mission, we strive to deeply understand the circumstances of those we serve and the needs of the communities we support.

Innovation

Having understood the problems faced by the communities we support, we champion creativity in our response to resolving them.

Trust

By building trust within our organisation, with our donors, and those we impact, we can serve communities effectively while fostering transparency in our practices.
