Defend Ukraine Appeal

The largest Australian fundraising effort for non-lethal military aid for Ukraine, coordinated by the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations

What is the Defend Ukraine Appeal

Defend Ukraine Appeal (formerly known as U-Help) is Australia’s largest community-run fundraising effort for non-lethal military aid for Ukraine.

Managed by the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO), the peak body for 22 national community organisations in Australia, the fund:

provides vital non-lethal military aid, such as surveillance equipment, including surveillance drones, night vision devices, and thermal imaging devices. Other aid includes transport vehicles, body armour, and other life-saving equipment
delivers aid through an established and secure global supply chain, managed directly by the AFUO
charges 0% administration fees, so that 100% of funds can go directly to supporting Ukrainian defenders
