1,000 Days of Help: The Ukrainian Red Cross has supported nearly 12.8 million Ukrainian

Since 24 February 2022, the Ukrainian Red Cross has been working in unprecedented conditions to assist those affected by the full-scale war. In these 1,000 days, the organisation has reached almost 12.8 million Ukrainians, providing food parcels, hygiene kits, drinking water, temporary shelter, cash and voucher assistance, psychosocial support, first aid training, and mine risk education.

The Ukrainian Red Cross meets not only the basic needs of the population but also works to restore essential services and infrastructure. Today, we are rebuilding rehabilitation centres, medical and educational facilities, and constructing housing for internally displaced people (IDPs). Over the course of these 1,000 days, we have built three temporary shelters for IDP families in Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, and Lviv, including one for mothers with children and pregnant women, providing housing for almost 300 families. Thousands of generators have been supplied to hospitals, railway stations, shelters, and other critical infrastructure. In collaboration with our partners, over the past two years, communities across Ukraine have received 105 modular boiler houses, including for kindergartens and schools, ensuring that children can continue their education in comfortable conditions during the winter. More than 80 mobile shelters have been installed in Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions, providing a crucial lifeline and protection for those facing ongoing shelling.

This is just a part of the extensive humanitarian support provided by the Ukrainian Red Cross.

This year, in collaboration with the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, we launched the Unified Veterans Hotline, which now handles up to 300 calls a day and provides consultations for both male and female veterans and their families. We also focus on developing physical and mental rehabilitation, including the organisation of mobile rehabilitation units to reach those in need. Meanwhile, 1,300 social helpers from the Ukrainian Red Cross continue to care for nearly 7,500 people with limited mobility confined to their homes, who have been left without support or assistance.

In addition to delivering large-scale humanitarian aid, the Ukrainian Red Cross implements programmes and projects focused on supporting self-development. These initiatives help individuals acquire new skills or start their own businesses, enabling them to adapt to changing circumstances successfully.

The Ukrainian Red Cross is a national organisation where Ukrainians support Ukrainians.
We stand by those in need!
