Support for Ukrainian Refugees through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) – |
Our Donations at Work!
Russian speaking eastern Ukrainians have been marginalized for years, now having escalated into the devastating war in the Ukraine. More than 10 million people (one-quarter of the population) are displaced from their homes. Safe spaces are set up in six adjacent countries. The number of casualties remains unclear.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) works with/through several partner organizations in the area. PDA meets with them and provides support regularly by wire transfer of funds. The organizations provide humanitarian support through European volunteers – closest neighbors are best suited to provide support.
|
|
Financial donations to PDA are the best means to assist Ukrainian refugees.
