KEY FACTS

Approximately 10% of Jewish children in Ukraine suffer from extreme poverty and deprivation

Anticipated that we contribute to the urgent welfare needs of over 1,165 children.

Recent surveys reveal that approximately 10% of Jewish children in Ukraine suffer from extreme poverty and deprivation, with only one third living in acceptable housing.

Close to half of the children suffer chronic illness and approximately 10% have disabilities. Assistance is provided for Jewish children in Ukraine to address their material, health, social and spiritual needs where their families, communities and government are unable to provide for them.

The Children’s Emergency Fund is a part of this programme helping provide emergency financial assistance to children for medical treatment, housing repairs, food, clothing and winter relief.

It is anticipated that we contribute to the urgent welfare needs of over 1,165 children.
