DONATE

GlobalMedic has worked closely with local Ukrainian partners over the years. We are supporting internally displaced people as well as those exiting Ukraine into neighbouring countries with food, shelter, clean drinking water, hygiene items and more. We will continue to evaluate needs and gaps to see where programming can be most effective.

Challenge

Since February 24, 2022, an estimated 6.1 million people have fled Ukraine and while some people are beginning to return home, there are still 6.5 million internally displaced people across the country. Attacks on Ukraine continue and the need for support is great.

Long-Term Impact

As much as possible, GlobalMedic is purchasing aid in Ukraine and neighbouring countries in order to strengthen the economy and encourage host communities to continue welcoming refugees with open arms. We have shipped firefighting gear to strengthen capacity of local firefighters. We are also exploring longer term opportunities where Ukrainians are hired to help support refugees and internally displaced people.
