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!

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!

Krysia thought she knew what war was. Shots had been heard in Donetsk since 2014. Everyone, however, had become accustomed to the exchange of fire. Over time, the gunshots became one of the background sounds of daily life. On the 24th of February 2022, Krysia realised that she still knew nothing about war. “It was […]

“I lived in the basement for six months,” says Sergei. A tired, wrinkle-ridden face, the sluggish movements of an elderly gentleman and the piercing pain in his battered left leg that reminds him of itself with every movement. The resident of Bakhmut is invigorated by the sight of the camera. He stares into the lens […]
