LOCATION: Ukraine and Western Europe
IMPACT AREA: Orphan Care, Education, Medical, Shelter, And Emergency Food Aid for displaced Ukrainian families
Who We Help
Many of the children who have been evacuated from the orphanage centres are formerly homeless children in Ukraine. These children endured abandonment, begging, abuse, exploitation and scrounged to survive before they found hope, comfort, and safety in the World Children’s Fund orphan network in Ukraine. WCF continues to assist with evacuations and provide financial support for these children as they face another difficult chapter in their young lives. WCF is also supporting humanitarian aid teams that are operating from bases near Poland. Teams are working around the clock to assimilate and disburse emergency food aid and kits filled with necessities for displaced Ukrainian families.
