As an organisation that builds homes, communities and hope, Habitat for Humanity calls for an end to the violence which threatens all three.

Since the start of the conflict in Ukraine in February 2022, more than 13 million people have been forced to leave their homes behind.

The conflict has destroyed Ukraine’s infrastructure, decimated businesses and levelled homes as families flee for their lives, taking little or nothing with them, desperate for stability, warmth, and a place to live in safety and dignity. Habitat has been on the ground in bordering countries since the very beginning, support those most in need with short, mid and long-term housing solutions.

Over the last 12 months, Habitat have served more than 35,000 people through a range of interventions.

From emergency travel kits with items such as blankets and hygiene products to rental assistance and hotel vouchers, Habitat has been supporting refugees from Ukraine to have a safe place to stay. We have also refurbished vacant buildings and spaces, providing upgrades to collective shelters to house larger numbers of refugees.

While the news media and public eye has largely moved away from Ukraine, Habitat is working in Ukraine and bordering countries to support those displaced by the conflict. The need is huge.
