Story
Depaul is raising money for Depaul Ukraine's life-saving work supporting homeless and displaced people.
We are currently on the front line supporting the homeless in Ukraine monitoring and responding to the ever changing context. Following the 2014 invasion, we worked around the clock to help displaced people with emergency shelter, food and medical supplies.
Depaul Ukraine was created in 2007 as a response to the growing numbers of homeless people and it is currently working in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odessa and Ivano-Frankivsk regions of the country.
For those in Ukraine, homelessness means temperatures as low as -20C, frostbite, deep snow, lack of access to medical care and, crucially, a loss of identity. The street homeless in Ukraine often have no ID, they are lost to the healthcare and government systems. Because of this, there is no official count of homeless people in the Ukraine, but it is estimated thousands of homeless people are dying every year. The situation has been made worse by the Covid pandemic.
