During winter 2024, we joined our forces once again to build and deliver wood running stoves to the households of southeast Ukraine, together with LCIF!

There was - and still is - a huge need for stoves in the southeast Ukraine. As gas or diesel fuels are scarce, people need to use wood to cook their food and warm their homes. We are proud to say that we have Lions involved all the way, from the production till delivering to the families in Ukraine! We have 100% LIONS control joint LCIF project. This Lions LCIF stove project meets all needed requirements: it is effective, made of steel, perfect for heating, it has a big surface to cook food, it has ash box to collect ashes and to control the draft, it comes with instruction manual included, both in English & Ukrainian.

Lions, Lions Clubs and Lions Districts, togehter with LCIF, achieved to fundraise more than $1,200,000 for the WINTER IS COMING TO UKRAINE 2 project to deliver 8100 cooking and heating wood stoves to families in southeast Ukraine, in an extraordinary demonstration of multinational joint venture, unity and humanitarian spirit.br> You can find the full final report with this link

The cost was only €150 per unit!

For that amount, donors made it possible to have a stove manufactured in Finland, transported to Ukraine and delivered to families in need!
Each stove also had a Lions LCIF Logo, laser engraved on the cooking surface, so users will be reminded every day how Lions together with LCIF, have helped!
