Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ukrainian children have confronted unthinkable losses. Many face reduced access to medical services, and an estimated two-thirds of children have been forcibly displaced, with millions living in contact zones. The war impacts the poverty-stricken's ability to afford care, and families of disabled children - usually single mothers - suffer the most. We help struggling families of children with disabilities access essential treatments.
The Dzherelo Centre has been operating in Lviv for over 28 years, taking care of children and young people with severe physical and intellectual disabilities. All children with severe diagnoses need constant care, need hygiene products such as diapers, as well as specific drugs they need to take daily. Because of the ongoing war in Ukraine, it became harder for the families of the children to sustain themselves. Your donations are used to buy the everyday necessities for the impaired children.
The situation in Ukraine is of utmost concern. The animals immediately need being extracted from near the battle fields, need to be relocated from the evacuating villages. The animals also need provisions, medical help, and nourishment. Through your kind donations, we can deliver crucial aid to shelters and rescuers across Ukraine, with priority for those located near frontlines.
Most rare genetic diseases start in childhood, are progressive, and often disabling. They are often "orphan" in the public healthcare system, with few treatments covered, leaving many Ukrainian families unable to afford care. People with these conditions need lifelong, costly medications, medical equipment, or both - essential for sustaining life. Your support provides the vital medicines and equipment that children and adults need to survive, especially during the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
Conflict between armed groups and Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine has affected millions of people since fighting began there in April 2014. Now the escalating conflict will mean that many more people will require humanitarian assistance. International Medical Corps and our Ukraine team have taken immediate measures to ensure the safety of staff in the country and are preparing to deploy mobile medical teams; mental health and psychosocial support services; and COVID-19 prevention services.
Ukrainian children with disabilities face higher risks from war. The Russian declaration of war means the pressure on single mothers will increase. We purchase work equipment or pay educational course fees for moms of disabled children to ensure that they have the basic skills and supplies to work or run a business. Despite the duration of war, people will need the services these women train in, such as hairdressing. Their income eases their reliance on welfare and charity.
Tabletochki Charity Foundation supports Ukrainian hospitals by purchasing necessary medications and medical supplies. With your help, children can receive the most effective medicines, even if they are possible to find only abroad. Your charitable donations make the children's treatment more effective and bring children closer to recovery. You can read about the impact you make in our regular reports and on social media. Ukrainian children are brave in their fight against the disease. But th
Childhood cancer is not a death sentence. In Ukraine, 1000 kids are diagnosed with cancer every year. 7000 kids are hospitalized annually, including new patients, those continuing treatment, and those experiencing a recurrence. Their chances for survival depend on the availability of medication, facilities, and emotional support. Zaporuka's project provides these kids with necessary treatment (medicines, rehabilitation, and equipment), and relief (psychological support and leisure activities).
Innocent Ukrainians are dying and suffering every day from Russia's barbaric actions - they are ruthlessly shelling our homes, kindergartens, hospitals and even maternity wards. Russian forces have no pity for children, pregnant women or the elderly. But despite the fear of death, Ukrainians continue to help each other. Doctors and medical staff are forced to live in their workplace. In addition to the wounded, there are also non-transportable patients in medical institutions.
Ukraine's children are in crisis. Kidsave has evacuated more than 32,000 people-half of them children-from war zones and delivered over 3,000 tons of food, medicine and supplies. But we're also providing healing to children and families. Our Miracles Center in western Ukraine offers war trauma therapy, mentoring, skills training, summer camp, and family-building opportunities-creating hope, connection, and brighter futures.
Today, bravery has gained a new meaning. While Ukraine is fighting for freedom, Ukrainian children have one more battle against cancer. During these challenging times, they remain brave, strong, and courageous. But sometimes, even the bravest ones need help. Today you can support Ukrainian children battling cancer with your donation. It is essential for them. And subscribing to a monthly donation will have an even more significant impact. It guarantees continuous treatment for children.
War crimes continue in Ukraine. Hospitals are attacked, and citizens are displaced. Hospitals are facing extreme pressure to deliver essential and urgent medical care. Severe shortages of medical equipment, surges in people needing care, and massive underfunding mean that hospitals are desperate for help. Healthcare professionals are struggling to save lives with limited resources. We provide vital medical equipment and supplies to children's hospitals to ensure care for children is available.
From SOS Children's Villages Spain we have opened an emergency fund to send all possible resources to our colleagues of SOS Children's Villages Ukraine and support them in all the work they are developing there due to the current conflict. We aimed to help a total of 45,000 people, mainly children. The aim of this program is to prevent family separation during displacement and to provide shelter, food, hygiene products and psychological support to families and children in need.
Soleterre is actively working in Ukraine providing medical treatment, accommodation and psychological support to children with cancer and their families in Kyiv and Lviv. After the attacks, the priority now is to provide a safe shelter to children with cancer in Kyiv and Lviv, and evacuate those able to move in a safer area of Ukraine. It's also fundamental to ensure continuity in medical care, especially for the children undergoing chemotherapy treatment or wounded because of the attacks.
The war in Ukraine is a major problem for adults and children receiving or needing palliative care in Ukraine. An estimated 500,000 adults and children in Ukraine are dying or have palliative care needs in Ukraine annually. These seriously ill people, the sickest in our health care system, are stuck in Ukraine or are being moved to palliative care programs in Poland, Romania, and Moldova. Our colleagues in these countries are being overwhelmed and need your help!
Millions of people have been uprooted from their homes in Ukraine and are need of humanitarian assistance, in what has become the largest and fastest displacement crisis since World War II. Of these, over 6 million have fled to neighboring countries as refugees and millions more people displaced within Ukraine are also in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Lifesaving needs include food, water, emergency shelter, health care and sanitation facilities, and protection and trauma counseling.
The war in Ukraine is going on. To continue life-saving cancer treatment in their home country, Ukrainian children need the support of the global community. While men and women in Ukraine fight for their country against Russian invaders, hundreds of children are fighting cancer in their bodies. We ask you to help them to get quality treatment, even during the war.
More than 2 million refugees left Ukraine. Many of them come from the most war-torn areas of the country, through the Chernivtsi region and then to the Romanian border. IBO Italia has been working in cooperation with local partners (schools, universities, associations) in the Chernivtsi region for more than 10 years. With this project IBO Italia aims to support Internally Displaced People and Refugees, providing them with essential goods and psychological support.
Another month has passed since Russia started the war in Ukraine. Over 3.5 million people from Ukraine found refuge in Poland. The first wave of aid is over, but help is still needed. We need your help to keep going with our activities for refugees. We are asking you for the long-term HELP, especially for REGULAR (MONTHLY) DONATIONS, which are crucial to us!
The Ukrainian people are facing a humanitarian crisis and urgently need support. So far Caritas was able to reach more than three million beneficiaries in Ukraine alone. Over the past year, we provided safe-spaces, huamitarian aid, and psychosocial support, social services and more. In response to the acute need for humanitarian aid due to the recent destruction of the Kakhovka dam, Caritas is providing shelter-kits, sleeping bags and urgently needed hygiene items for the affected population.
The project provides work and equipment of 3 Early Child Learning Centers in Odessa, Ukraine. Your donation will help vulnerable and the war zone refugees' families to get access to free daycare, nutrition and education for children and specialized support for their resilience. So 200 children of 2-7 years old per year will be able to get vital skills, overcome physical, social and cognitive lagging, love to learn and create, get mental well-being for their further success at school and society.
The drastic deterioration in the humanitarian situation in Ukraine has led thousands to seek safety along the country's western borders. Thousands of vulnerable Ukrainians are now taking refuge in neighboring Moldova, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. IsraAID will distribute essential relief items like personal hygiene kits and blankets - critical amid COVID-19 and harsh winter weather - and provide psychosocial support to help affected populations deal with potential long-term trauma.
After two years of war in Ukraine, more and more children are facing acute food insecurity. Many families, including those with disabled children, low incomes and the internally displaced, don't have the means to survive. They are unable to afford essential personal care products and household cleaning supplies. Many go hungry because food is unaffordable. BKC and our local partners work on the ground, distributing food and essentials among conflict-affected families.
2022 has started with sad news regarding the conflictual situation between Ukraine and Russia. Our charity has its main offices 70 kms from one of the borders. As a result, a lot of refugees have been arriving in the region within the past 2 days. Our charity is committed to create a response fund and provide ongoing support to facilitate their stay in the region for as long as necessary. The Ukrainian women and children need us now!
Due to military aggression by the rusian Federation, which started 24th of February, a large number of internally displaced persons are arriving to Odesa. People left their homes for staying alive. For now, more then 3 millions people left their cities. Our project help people to find a shelter, food, clothes and all basic needs for surviving in this hard days. Also we help to equip bomb shelters in our city. All Ukrainians are rallied and together we have a big power! We need your help!
Direct Relief is partnering with Ukraine's Ministry of Health and local organizations to deliver urgently needed medical aid- from oxygen concentrators to critical care medicines- while supporting long-term efforts to strengthen the country's health system.
Millions of Ukrainians are in the cross hairs of the world's most devastating weapons. In Ukraine, thousands of cluster bombs, artillery shells, and rockets litter the streets that can detonate at any moment. The HALO Trust has been operating in Ukraine since 2016. We have over 1,200 staff on the ground in Ukraine working to protect civilians from cluster bombs, landmines, and other deadly explosives, but we need your help.
The project will be used to protect the refugee center as long as Ukrainian refugees who are tired of the war, feel safe. At least 100 to 3,000 people will be beneficiary. The center, which was built by cleaning and repairing the space that had been abandoned for 9 years, had collapsed the ceiling and water and electricity are in trouble one after another. Even the interest of other donors has disappeared, and the manpower that helped clean up has over, and staffs are exhausted. Give your help!
The project provides free housing for families with children affected by cancer and other severe diagnoses in wartime Ukraine. The newly opened Dacha Family House in Kyiv and the rented one in Lviv can both host up to 15 families per day, offering a safe, comfortable stay near hospitals. No similar houses exist in Ukraine. As cancer treatment lasts for months, families need a stable and secure environment to care for their children.
Years of war in Ukraine have left children in institutional care among the most at-risk and overlooked victims. There are about 650 residential institutions nationwide housing approximately 100,000 children. Many of these children have physical or learning disabilities, and many have no parents or guardians. As the war continues, many are unable to flee the violence and find refuge. These vulnerable children living in specialized institutions must not be forgotten.
Sorrow has come to our house. War has come to our country. People are losing their homes, jobs, health, lives. Ukraine is a peaceful country that had to face the attack of a large and militarized aggressor. Our enemy has no mercy. We have rallied and refugee and disadvantaged families in Odessa now receive humanitarian assistance, shelter and opportunity to flee Ukraine. But there are more and more such families and we critically need your support. We do everything in our power. Do what you can.
This project is supporting Ukrainian women and their children to re-build their lives in Poland. With our local partner, Pontes we are providing long-term support for 1,000 women and children in 5 cities across Poland. The project offers employability support, language learning, psychological services, mentoring, education support, cultural integration, and guidance about services in Poland. The goal is to empower Ukrainian women and children to thrive after the destruction of war.
Peace Winds Japan is dispatching staff to Poland to help refugees who are fleeing Ukraine following Russia's invasion. German media estimates up to 1 million Ukrainians will seek refuge in EU nations, such as Poland, which is already readying 1 million accommodations. This project is being carried out in anticipation of the humanitarian impact on Ukrainians, which UNHCR High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, has said will be "devastating." Your kind support is warmly appreciated.
As of last week (March 7th), an international organization started providing bulk food for us to pack and distribute to families who are either staying in Moldova for a while, or who are tranistioning to the West. We are able to process about 100 boxes per day, but to scale that up we need to finish our conference room. We also want to prepare two classrooms and a small playground, since 1/2 of refugees are children, and keeping them busy allows parents to work.
Gift of the Givers relief intervention in Ukraine is focused on providing emergency relief items to orphans, elderly, families and individuals. We have mobilized volunteers within Ukraine thus broadening our reach within "hot spots". Our immediate approach is a resourceful one given that many areas are no entry zones, and this includes the identifying of specific needs, locating shops & suppliers, providing funding, & immediate delivery of aid from within.
At least 230,000 refugees and asylum seekers reside in Greece in overcrowded camps on the islands or in prison-like centers on the mainland. At Ritsona Refugee Camp, the largest on mainland Greece, people endure heightened isolation and anxiety due to the camp's remote location and restrictive conditions. LHR provides psychosocial support to children, young people, and women living in Ritsona and Malakasa Camps through sport and creative activities that alleviate stress and create connection.
Russia has invaded Ukraine. This is the biggest war attack since the Second World War. There is huge panic in Ukraine. The Pallottine fathers, especially in Kyiv, Odesa, Zhytomyr, and Lviv shelter families. Food, water, hygiene products are needed, but not only. The emergency need for the people to survive are power generators and oil-powered equipment. As more and more buildings are destroyed, the families need a place to live. We adapt rooms for them in the parishes run by missionary priests.
As conflict escalates in Ukraine, 12.7 million people, including 1.9 million children, are in urgent need of support. UNICEF is scaling up emergency response across Ukraine and the region to meet growing needs. Today, 3.5 million children lack access to basic goods and services, including adequate food and shelter, all of which are depriving children of a minimum standard of living and affecting their long-term development, education, health, and future opportunities.
The terrible war is ongoing in Ukraine. Russian invaders bomb cities, hospitals and homes, killing civilians without remorse. Ukrainian kids with cancer and other critical diagnoses, especially those evacuated from frontline areas, displaced or who have lost parents to the war, are more vulnerable than most in such a situation. They need medicines, medical supplies, a safe place to stay and food to survive, as well as emotional relief and care that goes beyond treatment.
As the violence in Ukraine continues, one million people have sought safety in neighboring countries. ActionAid is working alongside our partners to ensure that urgent needs of refugees are met, and that marginalized communities are being protected. Over the past two years, we have worked with nearly 40 women, minority, and youth-led organizations across Ukraine and its neighbors serving 2 million people. A gift of any amount will enable us to support relief efforts like this around the world.
This project will help set up pop-up clinics throughout the UK and the EU to provide mental health services to Ukrainians fleeing war in their home-country. We will train 30 practitioners from all over the United Kingdom and Europe and are already setting up clinics along bordering countries with Ukraine to provide trauma-informed care to migrants and refugees coming in.
Disaster Aid USA has had representative in Poland and is working with Disaster Aid Europe who is on the ground in Slovakia both are in contact with Rotary clubs and Districts in the area. Other Disaster Aid International Countries are answering the call for help also. We will use or local contacts in Ukraine, Poland and other surrounding countries to assess the needs as they unfold. We have tents, water filters, medical supplies, solar lighting, hygiene kits, and other needed supplies
This project will provide critically needed food, medication and hygiene supplies for the victims of the war in the Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine. Each package will be delivered and given directly to the people that are still staying near the battlegrounds or were moved a little further from them. Our organization will purchase, package and deliver 500 boxes of these essentials. All humanitarian actions are coordinated with the local authorities.
