This February marks two years since conflict in the Ukraine escalated, driving many people to leave their homes in search of safety. More than 14 million people are still in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UNHCR.
Concern continues to deliver emergency and long-term support to Ukrainians. In 2023, we reached over 144,000 people through emergency, protection and livelihoods programming as part of the Joint Emergency Response in Ukraine (JERU).
Preparing homes for winter
Nearly 1.5 million homes in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed since the fighting began, the UNDP estimates. This leaves many families to survive Ukraine’s freezing winter months without adequate shelter. To help meet the immediate needs of Ukrainians, Concern provides cash payments to families so they can winterise their homes and buy the firewood needed to keep warm.
Livelihoods support
In the past year, Concern’s programming in Ukraine began focusing on resilience-building for communities to reduce the impact of future shocks. Livelihoods support for individuals is a vital part of this response.
This is being achieved through the provision of micro-grants for entrepreneurs, along with skills training and placement opportunities for people that match market demand. The long-term aim is to generate income for vulnerable households, restore the availability of basic goods in the markets, and ultimately reduce reliance on humanitarian aid.
