Christmas Packages for Ukrainian Children

We are two Master's students of International Relations specializing in Security and Diplomacy who cooperate with local NGOs to help solve problems and meet the needs of the Ukrainians forced to leave their homes. We have been developing close ties to the Krakow community and have been engaged with them since the war began in February.

As the military invasion in Ukraine escalates, millions of people are facing a serious humanitarian crisis and are in need of urgent aid.

More than 7.4 million refugees from Ukraine have been recorded across Europe. Close to 1.4 million individuals registered for Temporary Protection in Poland as of September 2022, the highest number among the EU countries. The vast majority of whom are women and children.

The number of Ukrainian children in Poland is growing, and we want to help them experience the joy of Christmas in these times of hardship. Help us achieve this goal. The donations and materials raised will be distributed to schools with Ukrainian children and verified nonprofit organizations. The packages will contain warm winter clothes, school supplies for the coming semester and continued studies, and some small gifts to bring Christmas cheer.
