About Vanguard
A volunteer-run aid route from the Netherlands to Ukraine
Vanguard was founded by experienced volunteers who wanted to make direct aid delivery more reliable, transparent, and professional. We specialize in transporting donated ICT equipment and medical supplies to partner organizations already supporting affected communities.
How it works
Goods are collected — IT equipment, medical goods, and practical supplies are donated by companies and individuals in the Netherlands.
Volunteers drive — vans are loaded and driven directly to trusted partner organizations in Ukraine.
Aid is delivered — units, hospitals, schools, and communities receive the supplies, and we report back on each trip.
