HELP FOR UKRAINE
Assist International is actively engaged on two fronts in Ukraine and we need your help! We are working with partners to bring medical equipment to hospitals serving the people in Ukraine. In addition, we are supporting our Children partners in Romania to care for the growing number of refugees fleeing Ukraine.
Our Impact
Together, we can care for the people of Ukraine
Assist International is providing relief for health facilities across Ukraine and for our partners who are directly caring for refugees in neighboring countries. Your donation can help provide mothers, children, and elderly women with the essential resources they need to navigate this horrible crisis.
How We’re Doing It
Right now, there is an urgent need for medical equipment in hospitals throughout Ukraine. We are coordinating with the Ministry of Health in Ukraine and other partners to answer their need for specific medical equipment donations.
Alongside partner organizations we are working to scale up our Community program to reach refugee children and their families fleeing Ukraine by distributing essential medical and hygiene supplies.
We are supporting our Children partners across Romania as they have collectively cared for 1,100+ refugees (this number is growing weekly!). The majority of these refugees are mothers, children, and elderly women who have traveled through harsh conditions in search of safety.
As the crisis in Ukraine continues to intensify, we are actively responding to the growing needs of our Children partners by distributing diapers, Columbia outdoor gear, tents, sleeping bags, and medical supplies such as surgical gowns and PPE.
Supporting Women & Children
Millions of Ukrainian refugees—mostly women and children—have fled Ukraine to escape the war, and they continue to face urgent and intensifying needs. In collaboration with our partners across Romania, your donations can help these families with the resources they need to navigate the impact of this conflict.
We had a wonderful backpack distribution in Ukraine last fall!
It was impactful for many orphaned and internally displaced refugee children. Thank you to those who sent backpacks and helped us purchase coats and clothing!
Due to the increased unrest and safety issues with random bombing, we are not holding another backpack drive at this time. Currently we are working with the Ukraine team on the with remote support, including workshops on compassion fatigue, and periodically sending in items with our partners in Romania. While we are unable to receive physical items to distribute right now, essential items can be purchased there, if you want to donate to help in that way.
Thank you again for all who’ve been a part of sending backpacks and more for children in Ukraine!
Our History in Ukraine
Assist International has partnered with organizations and individuals across Ukraine since our founding. In the 1990s, our founders Bob and Charlene Pagett implemented some of the first medical equipment from Assist International, installing cardiac care units for hospitals in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Nearly 30 years later, we are still here, ready to respond to this crisis, thanks to donors like you!
Right now, we have medical equipment and essential supplies, ready to ship. Your support will help place these resources into the hands of healthcare workers and refugee families facing desperate need.
