The Sunflower Project in partnership with U.R.L. has been developing a mine detection and disposal robot. Designed and manufactured in Ukraine, our robot is capable of finding and neutralizing hundreds of types of mines and UXO. With your help, we will make our robot available to de-miners in Ukraine.

This is why we are focusing more and more on our de-mining efforts. The residents of this small village in Khersons'ka Oblast have nowhere to go, and every yard in the village is full of mines like the antipersonnel mine you can see in several of the photos. This mine was found less than 5 meters from my truck after I parked on the main street in the village.

Humanitarian aid delivery to a forgotten village in Khersons'ka Oblast. There are few residents here, and most of the town is riddled with mines. But these folks are determined to make it through the winter in their own homes. When we happened upon this village a few weeks ago, the residents were in the middle of their watermelon harvest.

The Sunflower Project delivered 160 liters of diesel to our de-mining team. The mined territories of liberated Ukraine are vast, and trucks and tractors are thirsty. Thanks to your donations, we are still on the road and in the fields.

This is a small sample of what we see every day in the liberated territories of Ukraine. Mines and UXO (unexploded ordinance) are still everywhere. Some estimates say it will take over 700 years to de-mine Ukraine at the current pace. We are working with our day 1 partner @east_lancs4ukr_harley to do everything we can to speed up this process. Please consider donating to help us succeed in this import work.

Baby blankets donated by @greatergoodcharities delivered to a children's hospital in Kherson. This hospital has been deliberately targeted by the Russian military on many occasions, including a strike on New Years Eve of seven rockets. The nurses we spoke to work 24 hours a day, sleeping every night with their patients in the bomb shelter.
