During emergency outages, the generator can provide backup power and help avoid equipment downtime.
This is especially important for frontline communities. Due to shelling of energy infrastructure, the situation can change in a matter of minutes: along with electricity, people risk losing heat and access to basic services.
According to the head of the Solonytsivska community, Andriy Lytvynov, the stability of heating directly depends on the state of the power system.
Today, homes are warm, but the situation could change at any moment. The generator will help keep essential equipment running and keep residents warm in their homes.

A generator does not eliminate all risks, but it gives the community more options to act during emergency outages.
Ukrainian Charity Alliance has been supporting the Solonytsivska community since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. During this time, the team has helped respond to the humanitarian needs of residents and supported the community during the most difficult periods.
The experience of previous winters has shown how important it is to prepare backup solutions in advance for systems on which people's daily lives depend.
Our mission is to help communities better prepare for potential outages and reduce risks to residents. This generator won't solve all the problems, but it will give the Solonytsivska community more confidence in a critical moment.

The transfer of the generator was made possible with the support of the Cincinnati-Kharkiv Sister Cities Partnership.
This is an example of how international support is transformed into concrete assistance for the people and communities of the Kharkiv region.
Support UBA infrastructure projects and help communities in the Kharkiv region better prepare for possible crises.
