Your help is needed in Ukraine

Three years of war have left their mark on everyone in Ukraine. Even those providing aid have not been spared from trauma.

As accessing international aid becomes increasingly difficult, Ukrainian relief workers are under mounting pressure.

Jobs and incomes have disappeared, and social security systems are not functioning as they should. Those living near the frontline are especially vulnerable, facing constant shelling, air raid alarms, and overwhelming despair.

By donating, you can help them continue their vital work. With your help, people in vulnerable situations receive assistance and children get access to trauma support.

Shop for a Better World

Fida Secondhand Shops is a Finnish chain of charity second hand stores. With 21 Fida Shops and an outlet, it is among the largest second hand chains in Finland.

By buying second-hand items and donating clothes and goods to Fida, you become part of a larger story. The profit from Fida Secondhand Shops goes to Fida International, an organisation dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people around the world.
