TechShareUkraine Used Tech Drive:
Making a Global Impact

TechShare’s impact grew to a global scale after we organized this grassroots effort to support Ukrainian refugees. This initiative was inspired after TechShare co-founder Matthew Herbert learned that millions of Ukrainian refugees are in need of technology to communicate with loved ones back in Ukraine, get new jobs, and rebuild their lives. In response, Matthew coordinated a local effort at his high school to collect donated devices. The initiative was able to collect more than 60 devices. He then transported the devices to Kraków, Poland, where he partnered with software development company Montrose Software to collect and coordinate additional donations.

​

While in Poland, Matthew partnered with Team Kraków dla Ukrainy, a humanitarian aid organization that transports donations directly to refugees in Ukraine, as well as Fundacja Kocham Dębniki, a Ukrainian refugee center in Kraków.
