​​​Saving Lives In Ukraine since 2014​

Leleka Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Ukrainians in the U.S. jointly with several volunteer initiatives in Ukraine to deliver critical medical supplies in response to Russian aggression in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. Charitable Foundation Leleka-Ukraine was registered in Ukraine in 2023 to enhance local operations following the full-scale Russian aggression.

Fully equipped medic backpacks

Key for field medics to provide immediate care to war casualties. A single kit is designed to treat up to 10 people with up to 10 wound combinations. We supply 75 medic backpacks a week on average, every week, with new requests constantly flowing.

Flexible plastic evacuation litters

In combat conditions, field medics more often than not lack time and resources for traditional four-man evacuation.  We procure high quality tactical plastic litters/stretchers to enable quick and safe one-man evacuation through the most difficult terrains and conditions.

Medical evacuation vehicles

Swift medical evacuation is key to survival of the wounded soldiers. Still, a regular ambulance is unable to support evacuation from remote locations because of road conditions and heavy fighting. Within our medevac project, we purchase ambulances and off-road vehicles in Europe, refurbish and equip them to combat medical evacuation needs, and transfer to the units located in the toughest spots in Eastern and Southern Ukraine.

Emergency self-heating blankets

Heat up to 40°C within minutes and retain heat for 8 hours. Used to warm wounded people awaiting evacuation in winter, helping prevent hypothermia, excessive bleeding, and stress. Injured people with normal body temperatures have half the mortality rate compared to those with hypothermia.

Top-quality combat tourniquets

With severe hemorrhage being a number one cause of deaths in the battlefield, tourniquet becomes one of the most important combat first aid devices. We strive to provide frontline medics with proven original combat tourniquets - TCCC-approved CAT, SAM XT, TMT, SOFT-T and Ukrainian Sich to help them save as many lives as possible.

Anti-drone protection systems

Essential for combat medics in Ukraine, as drones pose significant risks by specifically targeting or disrupting medical evacuation efforts. These systems disable hostile drones, safeguarding medical personnel and casualties during evacuation. By preventing surveillance and attacks, electronic anti-drone protection ensures that medics can successfully bring their wounded to field hospitals.
