In partnership with local pastors, CLDI brings practical help and spiritual encouragement to people deeply suffering from the war in Ukraine
Since the full-scale invasion in 2022, we rapidly expanded our mission in Ukraine to include vital humanitarian relief. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with local pastors, we have assisted with emergency evacuations, distributed tons of food aid, and provided ongoing, critical care for internally displaced persons.
Clean Water Through Local Churches
Church-based water filtration systems provide free, safe drinking water in cities where infrastructure is damaged or destroyed. In some communities, these systems serve as the only source of clean water for thousands of people.
Food Assistance for War-Affected Families
Local churches distribute food packages to displaced families, elderly people, and those living near the frontlines who cannot leave their homes. Your support helps families survive day by day in the midst of war.

Winter Relief & Emergency Support
Many families face winter without heat, electricity, or proper shelter. CLDI supports churches with stoves, heaters, blankets, and warm clothing so vulnerable families can survive the cold months.

Supporting Local Churches With Resources
Churches and pastors serve as spiritual and humanitarian lifelines during the war. We equip and support local leaders so they can continue providing food, water, care, and hope of the Gospel to their communities.

Our Impact in Ukraine
CLDI has been serving and equipping churches in Ukraine for many years. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, this long-term partnership has expanded into humanitarian response — delivering tons of food, providing winter relief, installing dozens of water filtration systems, and helping thousands of people gain access to clean water, warmth, and daily necessities through local churches.
We work directly with trusted pastors and church leaders and travel to Ukraine personally. This long-standing presence allows us to respond to real needs on the ground and ensure that aid is delivered with integrity, accountability, and a clear Gospel-centered mission.
