EUR 10,000 for SOS Children's Villages emergency relief

Following the invasion of Ukraine, SOS Children's Villages has launched a comprehensive relief programme. In its first phase, humanitarian aid is expected to reach 15,000 people in the regions of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Dnipropetrovsk and Zakarpattia.

Ukraine: help for children and families

"There is no safe place left here," reports Serhii Lukashov, National Director of SOS Children's Villages in Ukraine. Together with his team, he is trying to relocate children to SOS Children's Villages outside the country. This has proven difficult, however, since evacuation currently carries extremely high risks. Lukashov also fears that children will be injured and killed, and that many will lose their parents and siblings. Hunger and a collapse of medical care are looming threats as well, and schooling will be disrupted for a long time.

"This war is creating a traumatized generation. We already saw this in eastern Ukraine, where children have lived with war for eight years. They suffer from panic attacks and severe depression. Now this threatens the whole country," Lukashov says in an interview at www.sos-kinderdoerfer.de/informieren/hilfsprojekte/ukraine-krieg-kinder-spenden/interview-serhii-lukashov-krieg .

CreaLog founder Michael Kloos on his company's commitment: "All of us at CreaLog are deeply affected by Russia's attack on Ukraine and the looming humanitarian catastrophe right on Europe's doorstep. The least we can do as a company is try to ease the hardship, especially for children and families, with a monetary donation. Since we not only serve numerous customers in Eastern Europe but many of our employees also have family and personal ties to the region, the urgently needed relief work of SOS Children's Villages in Ukraine is especially close to our hearts."
