Emergency Backpacks:
A New Reality
For children in Ukraine, a backpack has transformed from a simple school accessory into a vital lifeline. Schools are asking students to keep emergency backpacks nearby and ready at all times—sitting by doors, desks, or beds—so they can be grabbed instantly when air-raid sirens sound.
Please watch the video below…
Emergency packs are designed for this reality.
Each emergency backpack contains survival essentials and comfort items a child needs while spending hours—or entire nights—in bomb shelters or dark basements.
