Support families affected by the conflict in Ukraine

A Swiss Red Cross (SRC) delegation is working in western and central Ukraine in close cooperation with the Ukrainian Red Cross. SRC specialists are helping to improve collective shelters and striving to find solutions for longer-term accommodation.
Single mothers with children and elderly, sick and handicapped people who have fled from devastated areas need special protection. In the parts of the country considered the safest, hundreds of thousands of people are reliant on basic necessities and shelters.
Your donation is helping to ensure that vulnerable people can live in decent, heated shelters with access to running water. The Red Cross provides them, for example, with financial assistance, in the form of vouchers, so that they can buy warm clothing for the winter, medicines and basic necessities.

Long-term SRC support for Ukraine

Their suffering is overwhelming. Exhausted by long months of uncertainty and by life in temporary shelters, many refugees are also extremely worried about their relatives. Many families have been separated from their loved ones. By making a donation, you enable the Red Cross to provide psychosocial support for adults and children traumatized by the war.
The situation in Ukraine could change at any moment. We are staggering the resources we provide, as we are aware that the population is likely to remain reliant on humanitarian aid for a long time to come. We are planning to maintain our commitment at least until 2025.

Aid for refugees in Switzerland and other countries

The Red Cross can rely on its national societies to take care of families that have had to flee from Ukraine and help them integrate. In Switzerland, for example, the SRC set up a platform in Ukrainian and Russian where the refugees can find all the information they need to help them settle in.
