Team

Behind the project "Saunas For Ukraine" stands an Estonian NGO "Saunad Ukrainasse". This special organisation unites around the common mission different Estonian sauna producers (like HUUM) and members of Estonian Defence League. Today we invite people from around the world to join us.

Our team consists of people who are unified by Estonian Defence League, love for sauna and a wish to help Ukraine. We are mostly composed of people working in the private sector who are working on this project pro bono.
