The first project focused on raising funds to purchase 2,260 generators for schools and daycare centres, providing over 300,000 children access to light and warmth during winter. Ultimately, 13 countries participated, and the project raised €1 495 465,58. The generator project was a massive success, demonstrating that trust and cooperation could bring many countries together in a cross-border collaboration, which was Björn's vision from the start.
However, it became a challenge when generators started running out in Europe due to Putin's threats to cut off gas supplies. Thanks to a Lion on the team who works for the world's largest generator company, most of the generators were produced at a factory in Istanbul, which were then transported to the hardest-hit cities in Ukraine.
