GFC’s Ukraine response: the latest
Through its Emergency Response Fund, Global Fund for Children is supporting local partner organizations in Ukraine, Italy, Moldova, and Romania that are providing humanitarian aid to children and families affected by the war in Ukraine.
Amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, GFC’s community-based partners are continuing to provide food, shelter, medical supplies, and other essentials to children and families under attack in Ukraine and to refugees fleeing the country. They are also evacuating children with disabilities; offering trauma support; and assisting LGBTQ+ youth facing discrimination as they seek safety.
We have been issuing emergency grants and doing everything we can to ensure our partners have the resources they need to respond to this crisis, both over the short-term and for months and years to come.
HERE’S THE LATEST INFORMATION, WHICH WE’LL BE UPDATING REGULARLY:
- We’ve approved 50 emergency grants totaling $1,215,000
- We’re supporting 43 local partners in Ukraine, Italy, Moldova, and Romania
- Our partners’ immediate and long-term needs continue to grow
