Tavi Draugi

HELP UKRAINE

Hello. We are your friends.

When the NGO was first established, our focus was on helping old people and families with financial issues. During December, we spread Christmas joy by bringing presents to kids from families who couldn’t afford it.

Meanwhile, we were also attempting to find sponsors for the NGO who could allow us to continue this job.

Even though the NGO was established to support Latvians, after February 24, 2022, we broadened our outreach.

Now, our main focus is on helping Ukraine. We are supporting soldiers in Ukraine, civilians in deoccupied territories, those who are escaping from Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees in Latvia.
