Your Finnish Friends ry

Supporting Ukraine's
frontline and peace

Your Finnish Friends (YFF) association has been founded to enable and ensure the continuation of support for Ukraine, to take care of the survival and operating conditions of the Finns helping on the ground, and to support people in returning from the war back to civilian life in Finland.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine. Immediately we started a public fundraiser to help Ukraine. This was followed by our first aid delivery to Ukraine. It set in motion an operation that we intend to continue as long as necessary.

This is how we help

Fundraising

The funds we collect are used for humanitarian and public benefit support and training for people staying in and leaving conflict areas, physical and psychological support services, and storage and transportation costs of humanitarian supplies.

Procurement

With donated funds, Your Finnish Friends (YFF) has acquired protective equipment, first aid supplies, winter clothing, vehicles and other material that makes a voulenteer's everyday life better and, above all, safer.

Relief Transports

We don't use middlemen for transport, but purchases go from Finland directly to Ukraine. In this way, we ensure that the material aid finds its way to where it is really needed.

Coming back

We help Finns returning from Ukraine to return to everyday life and secure their foundations. We also support in getting professional help to deal with the difficult experiences of war.
