Ukraine
Help those in need access vital supplies.
“Your support gives us hope that we are not alone and allows us to help people in need. So please continue to stand with Ukraine”
Since Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Caritas partners have been working tirelessly to help those in need.
Civilian infrastructure in Ukraine continues to be targeted including water supplies, gas and electric supplies, hospitals, and homes. There has been extensive destruction of essential services, leaving millions without power, heating and water through the brutal winter cold, as the government tries to ration the existing resources and energy.
