On the 24th of February 2022, Russia launched a military offensive into Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and destroying the country’s infrastructure. More than a quarter of the population has been forced to flee their homes. In the first few weeks, more than 4.3 million refugees fled Ukraine, and a second as many were internally displaced. It is the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II.
We cannot be indifferent to the suffering of our neighbours – we immediately set out to help!
We have been present since the very beginning of the conflict and have brought humanitarian aid to those most affected by the war in Ukraine.
We were one of the first NGOs to cross the Ukrainian border. We helped tens of thousands of Ukrainians who decided to flee the country. We spent the first two weeks of the conflict in the border zone, providing aid to victims of the war.
Ukraine needs concrete help, so we send humanitarian shipments deep into the country. In cities affected by the fighting, we support senior citizens. Due to their state of health, they have not been able to leave. Others have stayed to support those who are fighting. Everyone can count on our help. Our regular shipments of clothing, food, hygiene products and essentials have already reached Kiev, Chernihiv, Lviv, Rivne, Lutsk, Mykolayiv and Slavutych near Chernobyl.
“I am very grateful to you. Such quality help has never reached us before. Everything will come in very handy and the sleeping bags are already saving us during the cold nights” wrote Chaplain Jura from Mikolayev.
We are always ready to respond to the most urgent needs – and these change from day to day. We have a team of experts in humanitarian aid who know how to help effectively. All we need is your support!
As a gesture of solidarity and support, every Thursday at 20:00 we shine a “Light for Ukraine” in homes and in front of the Ukrainian Embassy in Warsaw. We want to show that we must not forget about the war that sparked off one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the last half-century. The funds raised from the sale of symbolic candles are used for humanitarian aid sent to Ukraine.

To our questions about estimated casualty numbers, the most common answer is: “A lot! On both sides!”. Exactly how many no one knows, because getting aid to the occupied territories is like asking the aggressor for an open day in his trenches. On the 11th of June, the Russians fired on a boat with civilians […]

What if this was your neighbourhood? If, between the billowing smoke, you spotted the ruins of the grocery store where you had shopped since you were a child? To which your mother would still send you with a list written in pencil on a piece of paper so you wouldn’t forget anything? Bachmut had more […]
