Today marks four years since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine began. GEM was the first international NGO to arrive at the Polish border within 24 hours. This video tells our story, the story of standing with Ukraine from the earliest hours, through the darkest nights, and into a future still being fought for every single day.Here’s what GEM in partnership with HGBF has been able to do in the last four years. •489 million non perishable meals distributed. •265,369 pallets of emergency aid delivered. •Over 10,800 trucks deployed into active war-zone regions.* 306,012 windows installed to help 776,315 people survive winter after winter.•48 M ++ liters of drinking water delivered. * 1673 generators delivered to support infrastructure energy. * 38,893 Ukrainians relocated. * 115 M ++ seeds distributed. And even now, four years later our work has not slowed but only expanded. * Nearly 800,000 people supported monthly. * Over 320,000 family kits produced and distributed per month.* More than 10,000 pallets delivered per month. * 390+ full size trucks dispatched into frontline regions per month.* 8,000 + windows installed in freezing conditions per month. •2 M liters of drinking water delivered per month. These four years have reshaped everything. They have reshaped a nation. They have reshaped the world. And they have reshaped our work.

Today marks four years since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine began. GEM was the first international NGO to arrive at the Polish border within 24 hours.

This video tells our story, the story of standing with Ukraine from the earliest hours, through the darkest nights, and into a future still being fought for every single day.

Here’s what GEM in partnership with HGBF has been able to do in the last four years.

•489 million non perishable meals distributed.

•265,369 pallets of emergency aid delivered.

•Over 10,800 trucks deployed into active war-zone regions.

* 306,012 windows installed to help 776,315 people survive winter after winter.

•48 M ++ liters of drinking water delivered.

* Over 320,000 family kits produced and distributed per month.

* More than 10,000 pallets delivered per month.

These four years have reshaped everything. They have reshaped a nation. They have reshaped the world. And they have reshaped our work.

We have witnessed extraordinary resilience in the face of relentless destruction. We have seen courage in villages without resources, dignity in families living under constant missile and drone attacks, and hope carried forward by people who refuse to break.

This is not just a reflection on war.
It is a reflection on endurance, sacrifice, faith, and the responsibility to show up again and again — to support innocent civilians being terrorized daily.

Four years later, we are still here.
And so is Ukraine. 🇺🇦
