Overview:
Fabrecreate’s HOPE Jackets have officially reached Kharkiv and Sumy in Ukraine, supporting children affected by ongoing conflict and harsh winter conditions. In collaboration with Nova Ukraine, this cross-border effort brings not just warmth—but dignity and hope—to displaced children. Each jacket was carefully made by self-help group women in India, using surplus fabric, and designed to double as a sleeping bag. This distribution marks a powerful example of global solidarity and grassroots action.
Key Highlights:
- International Distribution: First-ever delivery of HOPE Jackets to Ukraine via Poland, with support from Nova Ukraine.
- Target Regions: Distributed in Kharkiv and Sumy, two of the most affected areas in Ukraine due to ongoing conflict.
- Made in India: All jackets were stitched by women from Indian self-help groups, upcycling surplus factory fabric.
- Multifunctional Design: Jackets are insulated, weather-resistant, and convert into sleeping bags, ideal for crisis conditions.
- Collaborative Effort: Fabrecreate partnered with Nova Ukraine for local outreach, beneficiary identification, and on-ground distribution.
- Logistics Support: Shipment routed through Poland with donor and volunteer help to overcome international shipping barriers.
- Impact to Come: Stories, images, and feedback from Ukrainian communities will be shared soon to document the ground-level impact.
- Humanitarian Message: Reinforces Fabrecreate’s belief that empathy can cross borders, and that warmth is a universal need.
