Today we are going back again to Lwiątko

Ukraine

Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, until mid-October 2024, nearly 6.8 million refugees4 from Ukraine have been recorded – 92 per cent of them in Europe. Inside Ukraine, an estimated 3.6 million people5 remain internally displaced as of October 2024.

Among the most vulnerable are also an estimated 12.6 million as of March 2025 people who were not displaced from their homes but who have been directly affected by the war – they have been wounded, their homes have been destroyed, their family members died.

Civilian infrastructure, such as power grids, water supply networks. hospitals transportation infrastructure, have been targeted by the daily missile attacks, severely disrupting people’s lives across the whole country, and particularly in the East.

About 3 600 educational institutions, including nearly

2 000 schools,

have suffered damage with some 371 educational facilities totally destroyed since the escalation of the war.
There were over

2 100 attacks

on healthcare facilities, which have claimed at least 197 lives, including those of health workers and patients, and injured many more, severely disrupting health services.

Today, we are on our way back again to Lwiątko, a small rural kindergarten in Ukraine, which has become a shelter for children evacuated from Zhytomyr at the beginning of the war. Lwiątko needs a pump for its well, as the problem of no running water is affecting it more and more. We will also take another shipment of food, kitchen equipment and spring clothes with us (the children only have winter clothes). Again, we desperately need you to join us in this relief effort!

Today marks exactly eight weeks since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We think of everyone whose whole life was turned upside down two months ago through the use of force. We continue to build a safe HOME for the children at Lwiątko! We are doing so continually, because you can’t provide a sense of security just once.

Join our urgent fundraiser and come with us to help children who have seen and suffered too much. Let’s build a safe HOME for them!
