Project Goal
Supplying those to be engaged on combat positions with high-quality camouflage gear, handcrafted by Ukrainians.
For the year 2023, we plan to supply sets of 11 camouflage gear items to the Sniper School graduates and other units upon request.
Each set will include a helmet ghillie cover, a weapon ghillie cover, 6 ghillie sniper veils, and a ghillie suit jacket, a cloak and a poncho.
In 2023,
we plan to produce and deliver the total of
6,600 items.
Owing to the volunteer efforts of the so called Camouflage Battalion of ours, the cost of the entire gear set will be 15% lower than the retail price of a single ghillie suit!

Welcome to the Battalion team!
Our craftswomen are in contact with the coordinator and chat administrator.
In the chat, you can ask questions about the ghillie crafting technique, communicate with colleagues, share experiences, discuss issues that could not be resolved with the coordinator, and suggest improvements.
Our project couldn't have happened without the daily efforts of 350 volunteers, whose contribution allows us to produce up to 450 product items per month.
Furthermore, the project couldn't have been implemented at the nationwide level without our logistics partner - Nova Poshta, which ensures the free delivery of materials across Ukraine.
We are in touch directly with the Sniper School to make sure all materials, colours, models, and weave density are technologically appropriate and meet the snipers' relevant needs.
Our project is the only one in Ukraine that has organized a home-based camouflage gear handcrafting system. All of our craftswomen receive ready-made kits with the necessary materials, enabling them to create camouflage gear. They then submit the gear to our headquarters for quality checks and finalization.
All materials are tested with night vision equipment to match the neutral infrared remission (NIR).
Handmade Sniper Dolls
We have come up with a symbol for our project - a mascot matching our current reality. In stock at 200 hryvnias per doll.
Events
Every 2-3 weeks, we present our project in public places in Kyiv, where we invite citizens to support our initiative.
Celebrity Concerts
Our team has successfully organized a charity Underground Stand-up concert, which donated 100% of its sales profit to our project.
Collaboration with the Media
We are looking forward to any kind of opportunities to present, and raise awareness of, our volunteer project.
Project Needs
Our project collects and repurposes 900 kg of jute bags every month. If you know of a coffee roastery or a coffee shop that would be willing to donate their coffee bags to our project, please spread the word.
We'd be really grateful to businesses and private initiatives if they opt for supporting our project.
