About us
HelaFlanko is an Austrian-registered non-profit organization providing humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
How do we work?
Volunteering
Partnering with Local Communities
We continue to pride ourselves on the selfless professionalism and bravery of our core team of volunteers and are committed to support Ukraine through to victory and rebuilding.
By nurturing relationships with likeminded organizations and private individuals, we're able to unlock new sources of capital and scale up our work far beyond what traditional funding can do alone.
Following the full-scale invasion in February 2022, a group of volunteers from all walks of life and several nationalities came together to pool our resources, know-how, and energy to do whatever we could.
What we expected to be a short-term intervention has stayed the course, frustrated with the slow pace and lack of transparency from large, established multinational aid organizations.
Finance & Donations
To make a lasting impact, we know that we must actively engage and include the communities we are seeking to help. We are continually learning and growing in how we show up as an authentic, ethical partner.
