Right now, we're supporting refugees and host communities in Romania, Moldova and Georgia, as well as families displaced within Ukraine.
Because of caring people like you, we're providing food, essentials, heaters, clothing, emergency toilets, soap, nappies, toothbrushes and toothpaste, safe spaces for kids to play, education supplies, support to help kids cope with trauma, and more. But we can't do it without you.
We need your help to provide more support like:
• Setting up child friendly spaces for children living as refugees
• Supporting refugees to access basic services and information
• Providing life-saving food and everyday essentials to families in need

Ukrainian children have lost their homes, schools, and everything that anchored them in life. They need support to help them process what they’ve been through. Otherwise, millions will suffer life-long mental health issues.
Adding to their trauma, many refugee children are out of school. They’re missing precious opportunities to learn, play, and just be kids.
"Going back to school gives children a sense of normality, but millions of boys and girls in Ukraine will miss the new school year, and it will be incredibly difficult to regain the time and opportunity to learn” Jennifer Neelsen, World Vision Ukraine Crisis Response Director.
