We have initially selected eighteen families hosting more than 60 Ukrainian refugees who we are directly providing the funds on a monthly basis of EUR100 per refugee hosted in pre-screened households. All of the households were verified and visited by our team, and as we grow, we will continue to do so. The situation in Ukraine remains uncertain and many refugees require long-term support. Together with our friends from abroad we stand behind the goodhearted Poles whose extraordinary generosity is now a worldwide good will story and example of how to react in a time of crisis.
