Situation
More than 200,000 Ukrainians have entered Moldova in the first 10 days of war in Ukraine. That’s 10% of their entire population. The new arrivals urgently need transportation to be distributed through the villages and towns of Moldova, accommodation, food, social, medical, psychological and spiritual assistance. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. Local charities need financial support for their emergency aid operations on the ground to help stem the refugee crisis.
Solution
The charity Soarta in Soroca is part of a local charities network meeting refugees at the border every day. Their volunteers are going to the border 2-3 times a week providing hot meals, food packages and sanitary supplies. They also coordinate the accommodation of refugees in a summer camp house with 97 beds.The needs of new arrivals are assessed at the border. Soarta volunteers also drive across the border to deliver supplies to less mobile and elderly people in nearby Ukrainian villages.
