Warm apartments for frontline Kherson

Heat is the most important component of survival for Kherson residents in the winter of 2023-2024. With critical infrastructure still being targeted, supplying heat to the homes of Kherson residents is a challenging job in a hostile context. However, thanks to the cooperation of the NGO “League of Socially Responsible Women” and Hungarian Interchurch Aid coupled with the financial support of the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund (UHF), a boiler of enormous size was installed at the site of the Kherson heat company, Khersonteploenerho.

Since boilers of this size are hardly ever produced in Ukraine it was hard work to find a company that was able to manufacture the machine. This giant will warm at least 8000 apartments of the residents of the frontline city by producing 11.63 Megawatts of heat per hour – thus proving to be essential for the warmth of residents’ homes as well as their survival during this harsh winter.
