Collection points for relief goods at UZH
City & Irchel Campus
Diese Woche am Mittwoch, 09. März 2022 werden am Irchel und am Zentrum Sammelstellen für Hilfsgüter aufgestellt werden. Das Ziel ist dringend benötigtes Material aus Spenden direkt in die Ukraine zu transportieren. Das Know How, die Kontakte und Ressourcen kommen primär dabei von Friends of Ukraine - einem neuen Projekt, welches telemedizinische Unterstützung in der Ukraine und Sammelstellen in Genf, Warschau und Zürich anbietet. Wir waren in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit den Organisator*innen und der UZH, damit wir uns so sicher wie möglich sein können, dass die Hilfe der Personen an der UZH sicher und verlässlich in der Ukraine ankommt.
Was: Sammelstellen für Spenden von Hilfsgütern für die Ukraine
Wo: Irchel Y10-F-24 aka VSUZH Stübli & Zentrum KOL-D-54
Wann: On weekdays 09.00 to 16.00

background
of the project
The logistics
The donated material is accepted at the various collection points in Zurich (e.g. UZH, ETH, ZHdK, and others) and temporarily stored centrally at Hardbrücke and transported from there to the Polish-Ukrainian border. The material must be inventoried and marked so that the movement of goods can run smoothly. At the border with Ukraine, the material is handed over to the Ukrainian military. This distributes the relief supplies to the areas where it is most urgently needed.
The relief supplies collected are used exclusively in Ukraine itself. It does not support refugees outside of Ukraine.
The project does not cooperate with the Ukrainian embassy in Bern. There is independent contact with Ukraine and its government.
Who is behind the project?
It is managed by Testasy - a startup operating in the medical field. The company was directly asked for help by the Ukrainian government, after which they started building the collection points. A broad network was set up in Zurich, Geneva and Warsaw in a very short time so that help can reach the Ukraine.
The aid project can only work with a lot of volunteer work, we are grateful to everyone who invest their time and money in this help. The project receives other smaller financial support from private individuals.

EXcourse - how else to help
Many opportunities to use you already exist!
The UZH Slavic Seminar has already published a great information page on the situation in Ukraine and the various offers of help. Feel free to stop by.
Context to aid projects
It is difficult for us to assess which aid is most effective and sensible. Various media professionals have already taken up this topic, such as thisSRF (see also below) or die Bern newspaper .
Friends for Ukraineor justTestasy are in direct contact with the Ukrainian government and have another important offer with the telemedical service, which they make available to the Ukrainian population. Together with them, many people are involved in the aid projects and have thus been able to set up their own functioning logistics. We are confident that the donated material will arrive safely and can be put to good use.
Always remember:Any help is valuable and only help as much as you can spare yourself.
