Defend families against the cold.

Since the full-scale invasion, millions of windows have been shattered by bomb blasts. During winter, temperatures can plummet to -20c or below, putting people's lives at risk. Thousands of Ukrainians remain in frontline towns with nowhere else to go.

Why support Insulate Ukraine?

Current humanitarian repairs for broken windows are wooden OSB boards: they block out light, absorb moisture, and offer no protection from the cold. This solution has not been improved since World War II.

Insulate Ukraine has developed an innovative and affordable solution to the urgent need for warmth: a $20 triple-layer shatterproof window made from polyethylene.

We help those most in need: low-income families, the elderly, and disabled. We help keep schools and hospitals functioning. By supporting Insulate Ukraine, you are not only helping individuals stay warm and safe but showing those on the frontline they are not forgotten.

Window Design

Using toolkits from Cambridge Design Lab, Insulate Ukraine’s Nikopol Team has developed the IU Window Version 2. 

This window is transparent, easier to recycle, fully secures buildings and is still shatterproof.

In 2025, we are phasing out V1 and installing V2 across homes.

Our Impact

In 2024, our total number of windows installed reached 38,000 windows, bringing warmth and light to those living across the most war-torn areas of Ukraine.

We employ 32 local Ukrainians across 5 frontline Regions.

Our goal for 2025: install 40,000 more windows across the frontline, set up build teams across all frontline Regions.
