I Want To Help

We believe that the strength of a nation is determined by how its most vulnerable members feel.

Vsimdim's goal is not just to give displaced families temporary housing, but to help them return to normal life.

5 Steps of Our Work

The NGO Vsimdim is a platform aimed at joining land donors, local authorities, funding donors, and organizations supervising the settlement of families in need of temporary housing.

Finding land plots

We have agreements with state authorities, public utilities, and private individuals who are ready to provide a land plot for a fixed-term rent free of charge.

Connecting utilities

With the help of authorities or private organisations, we connect utilities to the site. We give priority to those land plots where utilities are already in place.

Constructing and installing a mobile home

We receive financing from a foundation, business corporation or a private individual to cover the cost of manufacturing a house mobile home. Then we transport the house to the selected location.

Moving a family in

We choose a family from the most vulnerable communities on transparent principles.

Helping the family with іntegration and adaptation

Providing displaced families with decent temporary housing, providing them with psychological assistance, helping them find a job and integrate into the city or local community.

Who is our program for?

It's for families of 3-4 persons who came from cities affected by combats or currently in the war zone;

It's for adults motivated for working with an HR specialist who would help them find a job and accumulate some funds;

For a family looking for a change, for self-suffieciency, ready to accept aid and to cooperate.

How to Avoid Repeating the Existing Experience?

Container towns

Containers that aren't fit for comfortable living and aren't mobile.

Vsimdim in country

Mobile homes Vsimdim can be placed within existing villages and towns on small vacant land plots of at least 5 acres with the minimum capacity of the utilities connected.

This allows families to have immediate access to existing infrastructure: jobs, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and shops, helping them to get back to normal life quicker.

The Existing Experience

Container towns are extensive settlements built wherever vacant land plots were available.

People live far away from social life. Since the community is isolated, it is difficult for them to become integrated into society, to find a job, a school or a kindergarten. The settlement turns into a closed commune. Radical attitudes begin to form.

Sometimes toilet, shower, and kitchen are communal and are located 50 metres away from a residential container. There is a lack of private space.

A residential container can’t be relocated because it doesn’t have facilities of its own.

Since people fail to socially adapt, get jobs and save money, they don't leave these temporary settlements. The containers without decent facilities become people’s homes for 8-9 years.

Vsimdim

Micro-settlements are located in areas with available infrastructure and jobs for specific professions.

Homes are located in a city or town just like other permanent homes in the area. People can use public transport, and commute to work or school, and residents have access to police, hospitals, social services, etc.

The houses are equipped with private toilets, showers and kitchens. A family will have their own small but personal space of their own.

The house can be quickly moved without the use of a crane to where there is work and the possibility of further development of the family.

Because families feel part of the community, they enjoy all the opportunities it provides and strive to make the best of it. They have the strength to work and move on to having their own proper housing.

Houses after the victory

When families move into new permanent housing in a few years, our houses will continue to serve charitable purposes such as:

A temporary shelter for women affected by domestic violence;

Part of a palliative program as a temporary outdoor building;

The basis for an outdoor social summer camp for children.

About us

In 2021, we created a prefab house startup Svitanok, inspired by the dreams of freedom of travel and the desire to be alone with nature. But with the outbreak of war, we had to adapt the project to the new realities and make it suitable for rapid mass production.

This is how the Vsimdim project appeared, producing and providing mobile houses for people who lost their homes during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
