Support for vulnerable people in Ukraine
Alleviate the distress of families displaced by the conflict. Your donation helps us provide vital aid for people torn between worry and hope, in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries. You also help provide psychosocial support for trauma victims, both adults and children. In Switzerland, you help refugees adapt to a life very different from what they are used to.
Your donation can change lives
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has determined the daily routine of countless people for four years. Missile attacks and bombings are forcing families to leave their homes.
Attacks on energy supply systems have left hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country without heat, electricity and running water. In icy temperatures this is particularly dangerous for small children, the elderly and people who are sick or who have health impairments. All of them urgently need safe, decent accommodation.
Thanks to your solidarity we can house refugees in safe quarters and provide them with warm clothes, vital medication and daily essentials. We are supporting people and giving them comfort and new hope.
Sample project: psychosocial support for children
The Ukraine conflict is having a particularly hard effect on the most vulnerable people. Many children have lost family members or have lived in destroyed houses. They have had to cope with the noise of daily sirens and explosions for four years and seek cover in air raid shelters. These experiences leave a lasting mark and can often be traumatizing.
In order to support them, the Red Cross offers a protected space for children between the ages of three and twelve. Here, they can process their experiences and play games, do crafts and dance to take a break from daily life.
Each child is different. This is why we offer many different activities.
