The Help Localisation Facility (HLF) is a programme in humanitarian assistance and a locally led fund, implemented jointly with local and international civil society actors. Together, we are developing new approaches to locally led, more equitable and partnership-based humanitarian action, in which decision-making power and control over resources increasingly rest with local and national actors. In doing so, we create the conditions for impactful, needs-based and sustainable support in crisis- and conflict-affected contexts.

The HLF is being piloted in Ukraine.

In the context of prolonged war, communities in the Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions continue to recover and seek solutions for stable functioning. Our project aims to provide comprehensive support for this process — from rebuilding social and critical infrastructure to strengthening psychosocial resilience and restoring livelihoods.

In response to the ongoing effects of the war in the Kharkiv region, our organisation is implementing a comprehensive multi-sector project aimed at supporting the most vulnerable segments of the population. The initiative combines vital humanitarian aid with solutions that strengthen community resilience, helping people not only to overcome the crisis, but also to restore their dignity, self-sufficiency and confidence in the future.

The project aims to help affected people in the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine. Special attention will be paid to survivors of gender-based violence and female-headed households.

Winter in wartime remains a serious challenge for thousands of families in the Kharkiv region. The Winter Resilience project aims to ensure that vulnerable households in the region can safely and comfortably get through the cold season by receiving the necessary support for heating and basic needs.

In Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, multisectoral assistance will be provided to meet the needs of the affected population, with equal access to humanitarian support – including for students receiving education at home.

The project provides flexible mechanisms to quickly adapt to new challenges and changing priorities. This may involve reallocating resources, revising timelines, and continuously assessing and reassessing the situation on the ground. By remaining flexible and responsive, the project can better support the most vulnerable populations and contribute to sustainable recovery in the face of an ongoing war.

The project aims to support vulnerable communities in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Mykolaiv regions by providing access to basic winter energy resources and financial assistance for utility bills.

The project aims to help affected people in the southern and eastern regions of Ukraine. Particular attention will be paid to survivors of gender-based violence and women-led families.
