A safe place for families who fled

Millions of Ukrainians have been forced from their homes by war. You can bring food, shelter and a safe place to land, through local leaders who never stopped serving.

Leaving with one suitcase

In the first weeks of the war, tens of thousands of people crossed into Romania every day, most of them women and children carrying only what they could hold.

Many still cannot go home. Their houses are gone, their towns are on the front line, or the men in their family are fighting. Families start over again and again, often far from everyone they know.

Partners who never left

Our partners in Ukraine began serving on the first day of the war, and we joined them three weeks later.

Together they drove women and children out of danger and across the border, restored a large building for an entire orphanage of evacuated children, and packed tens of thousands of food bags for families on the move. We give that work a boost with funding and willing hands.
