The association designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programs in the following sectors: water, hygiene and sanitation, civil engineering, food security and rural development, socio-educational and psychosocial. TGH is currently operating in 13 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Context
Since the beginning of the « full-scale invasion’ of Ukraine by Russian Forces, TGH has been responding to the needs of the population in the territories under the control of the Government of Ukraine. Humanitarian needs remain critical. The ongoing conflict continues to devastate civilian lives and infrastructure, causing large-scale displacement and destruction. In 2025, 12.7 million people – 36 per cent of the population – require humanitarian assistance.

From February 2022 to October 2024, TGH established four operational bases in Dnipro, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Lviv, delivering humanitarian aid through Protection activities (Case Management, Legal Aid and PSS), and Basic Needs programs (Shelter, Cash, Wash).
Since October 2024, TGH has been focusing on protection and shelter in the eastern region, assisting people in need in the Dnipropetrovska, Kharkivka, Donetska, and Zaporiska oblasts from its operational base in Dnipro, its sub-office in Kharkiv, and its representation office in Kyiv, through direct and indirect implementation.
