YOU CAN PARTICIPATE

Russia’s three-day so-called “special operation” against Ukraine has now gone on for over three years (in fact, since 2014). Civilian targets are under constant attack, and war crimes are countless. We must not stand by silently. Ukraine needs our support.

Our Ukrainian partner tells us they urgently require equipment, e.g. robust four-wheel-drive vehicles to transport supplies and evacuate wounded soldiers at the front, as well as mobile power stations and generators for field operations. This equipment is readily available elsewhere in Europe. Now you can help Ukraine obtain these vital resources.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

My name is Magnus Londen. I’m a journalist who visited Ukraine in November 2022 and witnessed a country that refuses to give up - I was filled with admiration and empathy. In February 2023, I travelled to Poland with Finnish outdoor guide Roope Roine to deliver a Ford Ranger pick-up to Ukraine. Through a group of friends, we raised funds not only for the vehicle but also for seven generators. Our meeting in Lublin with the Ukrainian beneficiaries is something we’ll never forget.

In spring 2023, we launched Caravan to Ukraine and raised over €170,000 from hundreds of generous donors - enough to send ten cars packed with vital equipment.
That summer, Caravan II raised a staggering €242,000. In August, we delivered 13 off-road vehicles and vans, 26 generators, 18 vacuum stretchers, and donated €50,000 worth of solar-powered stations.
In November 2023, we launched the “Christmas Caravan” project. In mid-December we delivered the first tranche: five four-wheel-drive vehicles, 30 generators, 50 laptops, woollen underwear, 70 hand-knitted socks, three vacuum stretchers, and other first-aid supplies. Part two of the Christmas Caravan rolled out in early February 2024. Together, these two Caravans resulted in over €200,000 worth of vital supplies.
In February 2024 we launched the Spring Caravan with a new “Fundraise for Your Own Car” model. Various groups - associations, friend networks, and more - raised funds for individual vehicles and then drove them themselves. It was a success: the Spring Caravan raised €216,000 and we set off for Ukraine at the beginning of April 2024.
In spring 2024, we launched our largest project yet - the “Relay to Ukraine.” In May and June, we rowed, walked, and ran the entire route from Helsinki to Ukraine. The campaign raised an incredible €212,000, which was used to purchase ten ambulances for the front. The ambulances were delivered in September 2024. Coinciding with the conclusion of the Relay to Ukraine, our Summer Caravan 2024 reached its destination on 30 June 2024, delivering nine off-road vehicles and a large quantity of essential supplies.
Since then, the Caravans have continued their 1,500 km journey to Ukraine on a regular basis, powered by determined volunteers, private donors, corporate sponsors, and participating high‐school students. We also work to ensure Ukraine is not forgotten and to deepen understanding of events there - e.g. through our ongoing collaboration with ten Finnish high schools.

The Caravan to Ukraine project continues - we will fight as long as Ukraine is fighting. Come join us and show your solidarity to a free Ukraine and Europe!
