UkraineHumanitarian Aid

You can read the full 2021-2022 Annual Report on the websiteeveryhome.org.au

BUSES IN UKRAINE - Funds were used to hire and fuel buses, each loaded with 3 tons of food and other supplies, which travelled throughout the country to places with great need. The staff would unload the buses to provide for people and thern load the buses with people who were trying to flee the area and take them out of Ukraine. Then the process would be repeated over and over and over. At least 2,000 people received humanitarian aid in this way.

Funds were also used to buy food to fill plastic bags which held up to 10 kg of food. The bags were loaded into many cargo vans and delivered to war zones where people were struggling to obtain food – many hiding out in basements. In this project, over 240,000 people received humanitarian aid.

ROMANIA & BULGARIA - Many countries in Eastern Europe saw a large influx of Ukrainian refugees fleeing to find safety. Our EHC partners in Romania and Bulgaria were able to utilise funds to serve the refugees in their countries. In Bulgaria, they were able to provide humanitarian aid to 1,000 refugees - food, clothes, hygiene products and accommodation for sleeping. In Romania, they were able to provide humanitarian aid to 450 refugees. They were given packages with food and hygiene products, clothing and underwear and housing for refugees who needed to stay longer.

As families were separated and millions suddenly found themselves unmoored from their old lives, a kind face, a smile, a hug and a prayer gave simple assurance to these familes that they were not alone. This has been a precious gift!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS TO THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE
