Nordic SOS Ukraine is a nonprofit organization involved in helping people in Ukraine as well as refugees from Ukraine. Our organization is registered in Norway. Our purpose is to assist with humanitarian tasks helping people from Ukraine.
Nordic SOS Ukraine will assist refugees who have already arrived in the Nordic countries, with participation in various events, activities and social events related to refugees from Ukraine. This will take place at international, national, regional, and local levels.
Everyone associated with our project works voluntarily and unpaid. Since we started, we have already helped many refugees arrive safely in Norway and Sweden.
In the autumn of 2023, Nordic SOS Ukraine successfully mobilized resources for the Ukrainian people amidst ongoing challenges. Thanks to generous donors and sponsored funds, we've gathered essential supplies and purchased critical equipment.

Thank you very much for the wonderful assistance and help
