The children in Ukraine have been living with bombing, destruction, suffering, death and fear for three years. Since Russia expanded its war of aggression to large parts of the state in February 2022, millions of people in the west of the country and in the neighboring European countries have been looking for protection. With our partner organizations in Ukraine, we provide emergency aid and dream aid, set up schools and shelters, help with youth work and integrate internal displaced persons.
