Dear friend,

Next week will mark three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of
Ukraine. One of the largest and deadliest conflicts in Europe since World
War Two—killing more than 10,000 civilians and internally displacing
nearly 4 million people. Another 6.8 million became refugees, seeking
shelter and safety in Romania, Poland, and beyond.

Mercy Corps teams have been supporting Ukrainian families since the war
started in 2022.

Below is an update on our response and how we’re helping communities
affected by the violence recover.


Emergency Response

As the crisis forced many families to flee their homes and livelihoods,
Mercy Corps delivered more than $62.2 million dollars in cash assistance;
distributed food, clothing, hygiene and medical kits; and offered
temporary housing and mental health support to 785,000 people impacted by
the war.


Recovering from Damage

Constant bombardment from Russia over the following months destroyed many
homes, schools, key infrastructure, and entire communities. It also
wrecked farming equipment and factories, leaving many farmers without a
way to earn a living. Families struggled to stay warm while young children
faced difficulties learning in school.

Mercy Corps has provided material or completed house repairs benefiting
over 300 households. We also provided cash assistance to help farmers and
entrepreneurs purchase new equipment and rebuild their businesses to
provide for their families.


Building Back Stronger

Despite the violence and suffering these past few years, the people of
Ukraine have remained resilient. A number of families were able to return
to their hometowns and start over or rebuild their lives in new places.

For example, on the eastern side of Ukraine, Mercy Corps has helped
Volodymir kickstart his small furniture repair business in a new town. As
a husband and father of two young children, the support he received from
Mercy Corps has helped him acquire raw materials, build relationships with
clients and suppliers, pay his employees, and provide for his family.

Overall, Mercy Corps teams have reached over 7.5 million people impacted
by the war in Ukraine and neighboring countries.

Our work in Ukraine is only possible with the support of our teams, the
communities we serve, and generous people like you. [ [link removed] ]Read more about
