Aid organization: Better managing internal migration in Ukraine

“More effective care for the five million internally displaced people in the country is essential” – How Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen/Wings of Help e.V. also wants to decrease the costs for Germany

Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen/Wings of Help (LOG/WoH) is one of the few humanitarian organizations that has been organizing truck convoys to Ukraine with regular aid deliveries since the start of the war in 2022 until today. They bring clothing, food, pharmaceuticals and even a mobile hospital into the country, which, according to reliable Western calculations, is about 15 percent occupied by Russia. The situation in Ukraine itself has now changed noticeably for LOG/WoH: The organization based at Frankfurt Airport is increasingly providing care for internally displaced people. Around five million Ukrainians and their families have left the eastern part of the country and are now living in alternative accommodation in western Ukraine, relying on aid supplies from Western Europe. Reason: The Ukrainian state only helps internally displaced people from the eastern provinces with the equivalent of 60 euros per month. In comparison, the German state pays almost 100 times more per month for each migrant from Ukraine when all benefits are added together.

The executive board of LOG/WoH with Frank Franke and Ralf Bülter has just personally accompanied another aid delivery to Uschgorod, consisting of five semi-trailers (including two trucks with child food). The Presidium urgently recommends “to decrease containing the clearly visible flow of refugees from the country to Germany by essentially and better managing the growing number of internal refugees who ultimately want to stay in their homeland. This has to be done by the Ukrainian state and must also provide immediate financial help to the millions of people on the run.” At the same time, LOG/WoH as a humanitarian organization wants to do everything it can to provide mothers and children in particular with the most important things for life. To this end, LOG/WoH has now sent 17 convoys with over 120 trucks, delivery vans and truck-trailers with 3,000 tons of goods to Ukraine – as of May 2024. LOG/WoH is continuing this unique aid bridge, which is supported by committed companies in Germany and private individuals, unabated this year.

LOG/WoH appoints two new board members

Professor Dr. Hauke Lang for medical matters and Jürgen Wingenfeld for finance were unanimously elected

Luftfahrt ohne grenzen/Wings of Help (LOG/WoH) e.V. is heading into the next few years with two new board members: At the most recent general meeting of LOG/WoH in the organization's premises in the Cargo City South of Frankfurt Airport, Professor Dr. Hauke Lang was appointed for medical advices and Jürgen Wingenfeld were unanimously elected for the finance department. At their sides as co-optive board members are Dr. Markus Schmitt (Medicine) and Rolf Geyer (Finance). Professor Hauke Lang is director of the Clinic for General, Visceral and Transplantation Surgery at the University Medical Center at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. He has held several leadership positions in global committees, most recently as President of the German Society for Surgery. Jürgen Wingenfeld is a management consultant for small and medium-sized companies with a focus on financial accounting, financing and public funding. He comes from banking and accounting and sees LOG/WoH as an excellent organization for efficiently helping people in need.

President Frank Franke and Vice President Ralf Bülter reported on current and past LOG/WoH operations. The great commitment to the people of Ukraine is reflected in the 15 truck convoys that LOG/WoH organized for the country during the war and for the refugees in the camps along the border in Romania. Over 3,000 tons of relief goods were delivered to those in need. In addition to children's food, clothing, hygiene and pharmaceutical items, also toys and technical equipment has been delivered. Other projects were also continued. For example, the “Education is Future” program, which provides young people with learning computers in schools - including in refugee camps in northern Iraq or in needy places in Greece. For the North Macedonia region with the district town of Kicevo, LOG/WoH organized an ambulance for a hospital that basically lacks all medical equipment. LOG/WoH supported the earthquake region in southeast Turkey with large tents and warm sleeping bags.

The auditors from the Rausch law and firm provide a certificate of solid finances. Tim Schlosser from the law firm showed with corresponding charts that for every 100 euros of donations received, 90 euros go directly to people in need. 10 euros are used for the project implementation and the management of LOG/WoH - an extremely attractive cost/benefit ratio that is only possible through the strong commitment of volunteers who make their knowledge and working time available free of charge.

After the board election, Vice President Ralf Bülter, Jürgen Wingenfeld (Chief Financial Officer), President Frank Franke and Professor Hauke Lang (Chief Medical Officer)
