Supporting children and families affected by war in Ukraine
SOS Children’s Villages has been supporting children and families in difficulty in Ukraine for 20 years. Since March 2022, the federation has been mobilized to help hundreds of thousands of children and families endangered by the war, forced to leave their homes and rebuild their lives in the West of the country or in one of the European countries taking in refugees. An entire generation of children is at risk of growing up without the care they need: immediate and long-term support is essential.
