In March 1,636 beds in hostels helped mothers and children fleeing conflict, 6 apartments and a large house allowed 9 families at a time to have a secure place to rest, and 3,500 children and adults received 783 boxes of aid deliveries. We will soon open an additional shelter and care centre.

Care in Action is increasing our efforts to protect and assist children without parents in our region and throughout Ukraine. 562 children who are displaced from state care homes have received our aid, 55 foster style families have improved food security in our region, and 150 foster families in Kharkiv, Rivne and Zakarpattia Regions have help, thanks to our generous supporters.

Our Together Programme activities are helping children to laugh and recover some normal emotions in their lives which are turned upside down by war. This also brings our volunteers and refugees together in a “volunteer family” where they feel a part of something and able to help.

Care in Action continues to use its network within Ukraine to supply large quantities of humanitarian aid to families and refugee shelters in Lviv and into the war-torn areas to the East.  Working with our public and NGO partners, we are expanding to provide assistance to the most vulnerable.

Because of our longstanding presence and work in Ukraine, Care in Action is uniquely positioned to continue to provide urgently needed food, shelter and transportation to the growing influx of refugees in Lviv.  Thanks to your donations, we have been able to hire two more temporary members of staff to expand our operations in assisting mothers and children fleeing the war zones. 

As the humanitarian crisis intensifies in Ukraine our on-the-ground team of staff and volunteers in Lviv continue to provide shelter, transport and support to the growing number of refugees entering the region on their way to the border. Our priority is children, and most of the refugee families we are assisting are mothers travelling alone with small children.

How we are helping refugees in Ukraine and Germany with food, shelter and escape from war zones in Ukraine. The first mother and two children arrived in Munich Tuesday midnight. Upon disembarking from the train, the younger daughter asked her mother, “No one shoots at us here?” Donations are greatly appreciated.

As floods of refugees are arriving in Lviv to escape the military action acrosss Ukraine, the needs are enormous and we are there to help. The donations we have received are helping our team, who is in Lviv and taking effective action to help people fleeing the violent conflict, and in Starnberg so we are prepared to welcome refugees.
