U-Saved is a French-Ukrainian humanitarian NGO working on the front lines of population needs to support civilians, healthcare workers and volunteers in Ukraine.
We work closely with trusted local partners to deliver direct, rapid and practical aid where it is most urgently needed.
Supported by a network of committed volunteers, where everyone has a role to play, U-Saved is not just a chain of solidarity: it is an act of resistance against injustice, violence and indifference.
U-Saved is involved in several critical areas, including:
When human lives are at stake, every coin counts.
U-Saved is a call to act together for justice and solidarity. Whether you are a committed citizen, a company wishing to support a just cause, or simply someone who refuses to remain passive in the face of injustice, there is a place for you in our movement.
We refuse to remain neutral in the face of injustice. We refuse to stand by and do nothing in the face of suffering. We mobilise to support those who are on the front line defending life and human dignity.
Our actions are guided by the real needs of the people, not by political or institutional agendas. We actively seek financial independence to guarantee this essential freedom.
We prioritise human life over bureaucracy. Every action we take is designed to have maximum impact at minimum cost.
Every donation, every decision, every action is traceable and visible. Our innovative tools guarantee total transparency for our donors and partners. You will know exactly where your aid is going and how it is saving lives.
