Vulnerable refugees at the Ukraine border face an uncertain future. As a Japanese NGO working for world peace since 2001, we provide not only emergency relief but also livelihood support to those unable to flee further. Your gift delivers urgent aid and restores dignity. Please stand with us for peace and give now.
UNHCR reports that currently over 7.5 million refugees from Ukraine and about 7 million people are internally displaced. The reality of the Ukrainian refugee population is very diverse, especially in economic terms. Those who are financially vulnerable have great difficulty in traveling long distances and remaining displaced. Therefore, they are forced to remain near the Hungarian-Ukrainian border and more often in the Zakarpattya province of western Ukraine, where we are working.
Local needs are changing every minute. Our staff assesses the actual needs of the field and provides assistance to refugees, internally displaced persons, and the host communities that are hosting them. We are working on three main types of assistance 1) providing food and daily necessities to help centers in border areas, 2) supporting the livelihood of those who remain near the border within Hungary, and 3) supporting the livelihood of those who remain in the Zakarpattya province.
Based on the philosophy of "Each one of us has the power to create the future," we respect the independence of each refugee to the maximum extent possible and provide cash assistance in exchange for the opportunity to make a contribution to the community. This not only makes our support sustainable as people can develop their individual potential to the maximum, but also expands the impact of our support to include the host community.
