About this campaign

Russian troops invaded Ukraine on the night of 23 February 2022. The subsequent mass displacement of civilians from Ukraine and the humanitarian crisis inside has devastated the world.

As it stands, more than 13 million people are estimated to have been displaced from their homes - including more than 4.8 million children. So far, more than 7.7 million individuals have reportedly left the country, and an estimated of 6.24 million people internally displaced inside Ukraine where there is now active conflict and a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding.

We need your support more than ever to reach as many people as possible in the coming months. Every single Dollar/Pound/Euro counts. 

Thanks to your donations, we are now supporting over 90 projects who are providing vital aid and services to those still in and fleeing the country, including: emergency medical care, food, shelter, clothes, legal support, mental health support, support for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and marginalised communities.

It’s easy to feel helpless in moments like this, but we ask you to respond with love in the face of such calculated and cruel aggression. Please give what you can to this urgent appeal, and please also share this fundraiser as widely as you can. 

When we all come together and collectively Choose Love, a better new world is possible.
