ERDO’s Response

Ukraine

We are continuing to provide internally displaced people and vulnerable families in Ukraine with emergency food, supplies and medicine. Since February 2022, over 34,000 people have received emergency food. 3,200 people have been given transportation and emergency shelter. Another 1,700 who have been rescued from bomb shelters and 300 orphans and children with disabilities were given safety and shelter outside of Ukraine.

Croatia

We are assisting 22 refugee families, 110 people, with food and hygiene kits, alongside the Pentecostal Church of Croatia. We are providing diapers and wipes for families with babies or toddlers. Firewood, warm clothing, boots and jackets are being given to families in preparation for winter. 30 Ukrainian children living in Croatia were given school bags and school supplies to start a new school year.

Czech Republic

ERDO is working with the Apostolic Church to provide 200 refugee families with long-term support. We are helping children integrate into the school system and families find employment. We are also assisting ethnic minorities and marginalized groups, such as Roma families and people with disabilities, who fled Ukraine, and are providing them with shelter, food and supplies. We have served over 2,500 people so far!

Poland

Working with The Polish Pentecostal Church, we have assisted over 20,000 people with supplies sent into Ukraine. Together, we are providing shelter, supplies and food for 430 children who were evacuated from war zones and are living in a Polish orphanage. Together, we are establishing a preschool, which will help integrate Ukrainian children into Poland. Once the children graduate from preschool, they will qualify for public elementary schools.

Our amazing partners in Slovakia will be shipping these urgently needed supplies into Ukraine to help families get through the cold season!
