Our Foundation has launched the project “Meeting urgent multisectoral humanitarian needs of internally displaced persons and conflict-affected population in Ukraine”. The aim of this project is to help 402 thousand people, including 254 thousand IDPs.
What will be implemented during the project:
- Food kits
We will provide 6,000 food kits intended to cover the food needs of a family of four for three months.
- Hygiene kits
We will distribute 5,400 hygiene kits based on the recommendations of the WASH cluster. We will also distribute 5,200 baby kits with the basic necessities for babies. And another 5,000 hygiene kits for people with disabilities and the elderly. Separately, we will donate 5800 individual menstrual hygiene kits, which will allow women and girls to access critical hygiene products. Another 60 institutional kits will be distributed to places of compact settlement.
Food and hygiene kits will be distributed in Chernihivska, Sumska, Cherkaska, Kharkivska and Dnipropetrovska oblasts.
- Financial assistance
Multipurpose financial assistance will be provided to families with many children (3+ children under the age of 18); households with persons with disabilities (I and II disability groups); single-parent households supporting and upbringing a child/children alone; households with elderly people (60+ years).
Financial assistance will be provided to residents of communities in Chernihivska, Cherkaska and Sumska oblasts.
“The project geography was determined based on two grounds. First, these are the areas most affected by the full-scale invasion: Sumska, Chernihivska, Dnipropetrovskka and Kharkivska oblasts. And Cherkaska oblast, which is one of the leaders in terms of the number of the hosted internally displaced persons, while it has the fewest organizations working and providing humanitarian assistance.
This project differs from the previous one as more attention is paid to the hygiene kits’ content. During our first project, we conducted distribution monitoring: we asked people if they liked everything, what they wanted to be added. There was a lot of feedback that it is important not just to compile hygiene kits, but to make them more individual, aimed at the needs of different groups of the population. Therefore, in this project we have not only regular family hygiene kits, but also babys’ and women’s kits. We will also distribute kits for the elderly and immobile persons with disabilities: they contain adult diapers and diaper sheets,” comments Anna Borysova, the project’s program manager.
We implement this project jointly with the Response Consortium, an association of organizations that have been implementing a multisectoral humanitarian intervention for 12 months to meet the critical and urgent needs of the affected population in Ukraine with the financial support of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA). Charity Foundation “Stabilization Support Services” is an implementing partner of CARE, a member of the Consortium.
