Who we are

Stichting Zeilen van Vrijheid is a charitable foundation registered in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under the KvK number 85736619. We are a grassroots humanitarian organisation committed to delivering priority emergency vehicles, medicines, and equipment to Ukraine.

Our mission

Zeilen van Vrijheid seeks to support the brave doctors, medics, first responders, and hospital staff in Ukraine, empowering them to save more lives in the aftermath of Russia’s unjust and unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine. We work across 3 strategic directions: ambulances and special vehicles, medical + humanitarian aid, and events and outreach. See all work

We run on

Transparency

We are open and transparent about all our activities. We openly talk about our humanitarian convoys and encourage our volunteers to do the same. We account for every cent and every pack of medicine donated to us.

Efficiency

In times of war, time is of the essence. We create robust processes and work tirelessly to ensure that our humanitarian aid reaches its destination as quickly as possible.

Impact

Our goal is to maximise the impact of each charitable donation, each donation in kind, and each volunteer’s time. By providing value where it is needed right now, we help save more lives.
Nice to meet you!
