Survival Mini Grants for Ukrainian Women

 

Project Kesher has subsidized 172 individual Ukrainian women, who are heads of households and responsible for an average of 3 dependents each. Our mini grants program has provided $75,000 to displaced Ukrainian families, indirectly supporting upwards of 600 people.

 

Emergency Evacuations Continue

 

The bus company we have partnered with has safely transported 3,500 people out of the most dangerous war-torn cities in the past 3-4 weeks. Groups of volunteers work together to evacuate unaccompanied children, and accommodate people with disabilities and the elderly in special evacuations. Each bus that is used for evacuations is filled with food and supplies as it enters an embattled city. The bus delivers the supplies to volunteer centers before loading up with evacuees and leaving the city to get people to safety.
