How the ASB is helping in Ukraine

Food and hygiene aid in western Ukraine

The collective shelters in western Ukraine set up by the non-profit partner organisation Ukraine Education Platform have communal kitchens where residents cook for themselves. The partner organisation distributes food parcels and hygiene kits for families, including baby food and special hygiene products and utensils for children.

Food and hygiene aid in the occupied territories

People in the occupied territories are also living temporarily in collective centres and are dependent on humanitarian aid. In coordination with the authorities, HADC distributes relief items such as food, water and hygiene kits to the administrative offices of the shelters.
