According to UNHCR over 1 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion. The UN agency has also predicted that up to 4 million people, or even more, could become refugees as a result of this ongoing conflict.

The Ukraine Crisis Appeal is raising much-needed aid for the humanitarian crisis unfolding in so many Ukrainian towns and cities under bombardment. 

“The Ukraine Crisis Appeal is working with Caritas to immediately distribute humanitarian supplies to Ukraine. Funds have already been transferred to assist with the purchase and provision of food, clean water, blankets, emergency housing, clothing, medical assistance and more,” said Ms Diahanna Senko, Director, Humanitarian Aid Initiatives, Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO).

A collaboration between the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO), Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) and Caritas Ukraine. The Ukraine Crisis Appeal is the largest Australian tax-deductible fundraising effort for Ukraine, with all funds raised going directly to humanitarian needs right across a nation fighting for it’s very existence.
