Ukraine, February 24th, 2022 life changed in an instant.

We all saw the news footage, watching on as countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes, heading east, seeking shelter and safety.

We were there at the beginning of this humanitarian crisis and we continue to remain there now.

Get that gas station coffee and let's go!

In those first chaotic moments, we helped people survive. This wouldn't be possible without our network of amazing local partners.

Whilst the initial impact has subsided, the needs have not. Families and children are still living in shelters. They need food, water, hygiene items, bedding and psychosocial support.

In humanitarian crisis’ we are there to help people survive but we also stay as they recover.

Join Alex for 'A Day in the Life' and go to our underground bomb shelter office, visit an IDP shelter (Internally Displaced Persons) and also swing through the beautiful city of Dnipro.

Conflicts are extremely complex, but as humanitarians our role is not...

In the world's most dangerous and complex places we help children survive, recover and build a future.

Social Upheaval

In places where religions and cultures clash, the things we rely on to stay constant – education, social customs, the respect of human rights – can change drastically for the people caught in the middle.

  • The occupation of Syria by ISIS had drastic effects on the school lives of its children; effects that linger today. As one student explained, “I’m not going to school right now, I’m far behind because the Iraq government will not recognize the education received during the ISIL occupation of the city. During that time all we learned about was tanks and bombs and religious teachings.”
  • Women in the Democratic Republic of Congo live in constant fear of rape and sexual violence. In 2018, the United Nations documented thousands of cases of conflict-related sexual violence in the DRC, committed by most of the many warring parties.
