It’s been 325 days since the world was brought to a standstill as news broke of the war in Ukraine. Little did we know it would have such a profound impact on our global projects; including food shortages, inflation, and exponential increases in energy costs.
As with any crisis, the most vulnerable – women, children and the poor are most affected. In the face of the devastation, loss and hardship, there is hope. Tying Vines is all about empowering locals and supporting vulnerable people. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing in Ukraine through our Corridor of Hope network. In 2022, this collaborative network exponentially increased our ability to bring hope in more ways than we can count. We were able to facilitate the collection and transport of aid products all over the country for people in Ukraine. Here are a few highlights:

While we celebrate these accomplishments, make no mistake about it, the winter will be very hard and very cold. Recent missile strikes hit more than 10 Ukrainian cities, targeting heating and power facilities, leaving more than half the country without electricity and internet. This happened as winter hit its full stride with average temperatures hovering below freezing, around 21 degrees.
