2024 Supported Org: Razom
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered a massive humanitarian crisis. In the yearly two years since that initial military assault, more than ten million Ukrainians have been displaced: nearly 6.5 million are living as refugees throughout Europe, while almost 4 million remain within their country's borders but are displaced from their homes due to ongoing violence and the destruction of basic infrastructure.
Although the war was initially met with a near-global outpouring of support for Ukraine, other more recent crises have captured the attention of activists and humanitarians around the world, and the support and resources that Ukraine so desperately needs have been drying up.
Razom provides critical humanitarian war relief and recovery to address the most urgent needs as they evolve via an end-to-end procurement and delivery system that places all aid directly into the hands of the people in Ukraine. They also help local Ukrainian volunteer organizations provide immediate humanitarian assistance to the people affected by the war, working with trusted organizations that understand the local needs firsthand and have a proven track record of humanitarian service. They advocate for Ukraine by educating about policies that strengthen and support Ukraine. They have built trusted connections with civic leaders, activists, and elected officials in Ukraine and the US to relay critical information to the public, media, businesses, and government officials.
Razom means “together” in Ukrainian, the name serving as a constant reminder of the community that it takes to create, build and do, to stay the path towards a more prosperous and democratic Ukraine.
