Our dear friends, thank you so much for all your support. We are glad to share some news from our recent intense activity on helping IDPS in Ukraine.
In the end of April Ukraine celebrated the Holy week, starting with the Willow Sunday and finishing with the Easter Sunday on April 24th. Unfortunately, Russia's government has rejected an Easter ceasefire, despite the calls of the United Nations chief. And Holy week started an continued with missiles launched on Ukraine.
On the occasion of Easter, we bought a lot of food for eight displaced families, including twenty three children, on the Easter eve, as well as vegetables and fruits for one of the Centers for the internally displaced persons in Lviv region. The center serves more than three thousand IDPs from different parts of Ukraine, providing them with free accommodation, food, and humanitarian aid. Cooperating with the center on the regular base since the war started, our organization also bought mattresses, sleeping bags, mats, disposable tableware, household items for them.
In cooperation with the Polish Humanitarian Staff, the Women’s Federation provided Ukrainian citizens who had arrived in Poland with basic necessities and helped to find temporary accommodation. And iIn cooperation with partners in the Zhytomyr city, the Women’s Federation organized a corridor for transporting medicines to Ukraine for local residents.
During April, our volunteers, in cooperation with Polish partners, provided medicines, things and food to Ukrainian hospitals and to the civilian population of Zhytomyr, Lviv, Rivne, Kyiv regions.
Responding to a call for help from Kharkiv, which is under constant shelling and bombing, our organization sent several parcels for a group of people who remained in a multi-storey building. These are three families, ten people, who have been hiding for the second month in the basement of a multi-storey building from shelling. Among them - a disabled child Danylo in a wheelchair and Iryna - a seriously ill elderly woman. We sent several parcels with food and medicine. There is only one post office that continues to operate in the city, and there is a huge problem with food. Except the practical help, WFWP volunteers regularly contact these people, providing them with the psychological assistance.
We sincerely thank all of you for making all this help possible!
