Friends of the Jewish Community of Ukraine supports all those suffering from the war in Ukraine - refugees are safely evacuated to Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Western Ukraine.
This opportunity is provided not only to Jews, but to all those in need.
Internally displaced persons are provided with sleeping places, hot meals. If necessary, medical support and assistance is provided: provision of medicines, consultations of specialists.
Thanks to the active work of the Contact Center, more than 30,000 people have been successfully evacuated by trains and buses since the beginning of the war.
Evacuations are carried out from various hot spots of Ukraine. An evacuation brigade is formed to help citizens with low mobility.
Among those rescued are families with more than two children, elderly people, residents of destroyed areas of Kyiv region, Kharkiv region, east and south of Ukraine.
PROGRAM OF HUMANITARIAN AID TO THE JEWISH POPULATION OF UKRAINE
Ukraine's Jewish population faces challenges ranging from socio-economic hardship to the effects of conflict and displacement. In response to these challenges, humanitarian assistance programs have emerged to provide substantial assistance and support to Jewish communities across the country. These programs are important not only for meeting immediate needs, but also for strengthening the resilience and building a brighter future for the Jewish population of Ukraine.
The Jewish Humanitarian Assistance Program is a multifaceted initiative that addresses the diverse needs of Jewish communities in Ukraine.
At the heart of the humanitarian aid program is relief. During martial law, this includes the distribution of food, water, shelter, clothing and medicines to those in need. In addition, social support services are offered to vulnerable members of the community such as the elderly, children and the disabled.
The Jewish Humanitarian Assistance Program for Ukraine embodies a collective commitment to supporting resilience, promoting social inclusion and empowering Jewish communities to overcome challenges and build a brighter future.
THE CAMP FOR THE FORCED RESETTLERS FROM UKRAINE
Tens of thousands of Jewish families were forced to leave their hometowns. Many houses of the Jews from Mariupol, Kharkiv, Kyiv region and other trouble zones were destroyed.
Supporting them, Friends of the Jewish Community of Ukraine in Europe organized camps for the displaced people, where they are provided with everything necessary and the opportunity to live their Jewish life, with the Messengers of the Lubavitcher Rebbe support.
FRIENDS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF UKRAINE AND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF LATVIA
In recent years, there has been a growing trend of cooperation and mutual assistance between the Friends of the Jewish Community of Ukraine and the Jewish Community of Latvia. This partnership has strengthened ties between the two communities and has had a positive impact on various aspects of Jewish life. One of the key areas of cooperation has been humanitarian aid and support for Jewish Ukrainian refugees in Latvia. Friends of the Jewish Community of Ukraine have reached out to the Jewish community in Latvia during difficult times, providing financial assistance, food, medicine and other necessary resources to support vulnerable individuals and families in the community. Joint projects, workshops and seminars have been organized to share experiences and learn from each other's successes and challenges. Cultural and educational exchanges have also played a significant role in strengthening ties between the Friends of the Jewish Community of Ukraine and the Jewish Community of Latvia. By working together, these communities have been able to overcome challenges, celebrate successes and build a brighter future for the Jewish people in Ukraine, Latvia and beyond.
