About Crates for Ukraine
Crates for Ukraine is a humanitarian organization based in Lviv, Ukraine. We partner with churches across the US to provide and send humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The aid is received and stored in our warehouse in Lviv. Then, we accept orders from those in critical areas across Ukraine for life-saving aid and fulfill these orders. From there, the aid is taken to the frontlines or newly liberated territories where our orders often come. Those who receive the aid are asked to take pictures and send them to us.
We take these photos and use Gallio Pro to blur the faces and any license plates pictured. Our photos often include the elderly, children, or military medics near the frontlines. This software is vital in protecting the identity of those closer to the frontlines and may be targeted by Russia.
These photos are then put on an interactive map near the approximate area they came from. The map allows us to have transparency about where the aid is going without violating privacy.
The value
Gallio Pro has proven to be the best anonymization software we have come across, as it blurs with precision, without watermarks, and in large quantities. Often, we receive hundreds of photos at a time, so we are blurring a large quantity at once. Gallio Pro has cut our workload by 50%, at least. As a result, Gallio Pro gives us more time to focus on other aspects of distributing aid and helping those in need.
Thank you for helping us serve those in need in Ukraine.
