The thermoses were provided to single IDPs by Women’s Aid International together with the Polish Center for International Aid (PCPM) and Care.

War destroys not only homes, but also entire lives. Many people were forced to come to Kyiv to be safe. Many of the displaced people are single people. They live alone or are most in need of help. Elderly people who do not have relatives who could take care of them often live alone. Some moved on their own because they lost their relatives due to the military aggression of the russian rederation.

Power outages have become a real challenge for single IDPs. After all, there is often no way to heat up food or even boil water. It is especially difficult for single refugees during long-term outages, due to which not only electricity, but also heating and water supply disappear. It was because of such difficulties that IDPs started turning to our Foundation with a request to receive thermoses.

How many thermoses were issued?

250 elderly people received thermoses.
