As winter tightens its grip across Europe, millions of children in Ukraine are bracing for yet another season of cold — many without the basics they need to survive.
This November, we invite you to be part of a local action with global impact.
On November 8–9, Youth of the Future (YOTF) will be in the heart of Stavanger, outside of the entrance to Arkaden Torgterrassen from the Vågen side of the City, collecting monetary donations through Vipps for our winter clothing campaign for children in Ukraine.
Your donation will help us purchase and deliver essential winter supplies such as jackets and thermal layers, to children displaced by war. This is not a clothing collection. We are raising funds to buy and distribute new, appropriate winter gear directly where it is needed most.
Why this matters
More than 1.9 million children in Ukraine are in urgent need of aid. As winter approaches, many face the cold without adequate clothing or shelter. Our goal is to respond quickly and effectively by delivering critical items that provide both physical warmth and emotional relief to families facing hardship.
