  • They have provided funding for clothing refugees via a local judo club, donated to ​​​Blau-Gelbes Kreuz (blue-yellow cross) for the transport of medicines, and have provided useful giveaways e.g. cotton bags, disinfectants, snack boxes, drinking bottles, etc. to the city of Dormagen for 200 Ukrainian refugees in Dormagen-Zons as welcome gifts. ​​​​​​​

  • The Hygienics business has donated 10,000 bottles of hand sanitiser to Toiletries Amnesty, who often work with refugees and have collaborated with a number of similar organisations to support Ukrainians in transit towards new lives. 
  • In Germany they have worked with Chance auf Leben eV, as well as Bild – Ein Herz für Kinder, delivering over 30,000 bottles of the product so far to the Lemberg region in the West of Ukraine. They are similarly working with Netzwerk Ziviler Krisenstab, Würzburg, and Rotary Gemeindienstes in Koln,  providing these voluntary organisations with regular truckfuls of sanitiser, which is driven safely through a relief supplies corridor at the border, and taken to hospitals and rescue facilities. In particular, many schools and kindergartens in the Lviv region have been converted into refugee camps, and very large quantities are needed there.
