The continued state of war in Ukraine has brought unimaginable devastation, impacting not just people, but the country’s beloved animal companions as well. Countless dogs and cats have been displaced, abandoned, or left injured amidst the chaos. Thankfully, organizations like the Ukraine War Animals Relief Fund (UWARF) are stepping up to help these vulnerable creatures.

UWARF is a non-profit organization run by passionate animal lovers with a clear mission to aid Ukrainian animals affected by the war. They work tirelessly on several crucial fronts such as

  1. Delivering Supplies: UWARF procures and delivers essential items like food, medicine, and other supplies to animal shelters across Ukraine. These shelters provide a lifeline for rescued animals, offering them food, shelter, and medical care.
  2. Rescue and Care: UWARF actively rescues abandoned animals from dangerous situations and provides them with necessary care. This includes sterilization, vaccination, and microchipping to ensure their health and safety.
  3. Shelter Visibility: UWARF works to increase the visibility of animal shelters, warehouses, and volunteer networks operating across Ukraine. This helps connect resources with those who need them most.
Finding the Animals in Need

One of the biggest challenges UWARF faces is locating shelters in urgent need of assistance. Ukraine is a vast country, and many shelters operate in remote areas with limited communication infrastructure. The conditions have also made transport to these places difficult.

Maplytics: A Technological Lifeline

This is where Maplytics, a powerful data visualization tool, plays a crucial role in UWARF’s operations. Maplytics seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365, allowing UWARF to plot the locations of animal shelters directly onto a map.

How Maplytics Aids UWARF:
  1. Shelter Mapping: By plotting shelter details from CRM records on a map, UWARF gains a clear visual representation of where shelters are located.
  2. Needs Identification: Maplytics allows UWARF to filter and visualize shelters needing immediate supplies like food or medicine using colored or custom pushpins. This ensures resources are efficiently directed to those most in need.
  3. Volunteer Coordination: Visualizing shelter locations and needs on a map helps volunteers plan efficient and optimized delivery routes and reach critical areas.
Beyond Basic Needs

UWARF’s impact extends beyond just providing immediate aid. Their commitment includes:

  1. Finding Forever Homes: UWARF works tirelessly to find loving homes for abandoned cats and dogs. This helps reduce the burden on shelters and provides these animals with a safe and stable environment and a forever family.
  2. Transparency and Accountability: Using Maplytics, drivers can verify deliveries made to shelters through live tracking and receive payments for fuel, lodging, and food. Additionally, shelter animal numbers can be verified, minimizing the risk of corruption.
Using The Power of Technology for Animal Welfare

The story of UWARF and Maplytics is a shining example of how technology can be leveraged to make a positive impact in times of crisis. By using innovative tools, UWARF can optimize its operations, ensure the limited resources reach the right locations, and ultimately, save more animal lives.

How You Can Help

UWARF relies heavily on the public to continue its vital work. Here are some ways you can contribute:

  1. Spread Awareness: Share information about UWARF’s efforts with your friends and family. Raise awareness about the plight of Ukrainian animals.
  2. Volunteer: If you have time and skills to offer, consider volunteering with UWARF.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the mute and help them find hope amidst the darkness!
