Currently, approximately 80% of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been damaged. Cities are grappling with power outages, with some receiving electricity for only two hours a day. Hospitals, which rely on a continuous power supply to operate, are among the most vulnerable.

That’s why we are raising funds to install solar power systems. The average cost of one system is around €25,000. Over the past two years, Czech donors have supported the installation of solar power systems on hospitals and other public buildings in Sumy, Zviahel, Zhytomyr, Lviv, Kolomyia, Zaporizhzhia, and seven other cities.

Solar panels provide not only immediate support for the critical work of healthcare professionals but also long-term assistance in rebuilding war-torn Ukraine. They will supply operating rooms with light and renewable energy for at least the next 20 years.

Currently, hundreds of Ukrainian communities are waiting for solar power systems.

Energy outages caused by Russian aggression pose the greatest danger to the most vulnerable—those who are injured, ill, or reliant on medical care. Doctors and healthcare workers need stable energy sources to continue their lifesaving work. However, they cannot rely on grid electricity due to bombings and drone attacks, and backup generators depend on diesel fuel.

With minimal operating costs and independence from fossil fuels, solar energy is the best available solution. It enables Ukrainian healthcare workers to save lives even during further attacks and outages.
