The Slovak-Hungarian Emergency Response Fund for Ukrainians
Location: Košice, Slovakia
Summary
Taking action for Ukraine together: Donate to Hungarian, Slovak and Ukrainian charities and provide relief to Ukrainian people and refugees.
As war continues to rage on in Ukraine, humanitarian needs in the country and among the thousands of displaced Ukrainians continues to rise by the hour, we are seeing an incredible solidarity building across Europe. Border-countries directly affected by the crisis have now seen thousands of Ukrainian refugees cross their borders; Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) has launched solutions to directly support frontline organisations and answer the call for help from neighbouring Ukrainian charities.
The Carpathian Foundation Hungary and Carpathian Foundation Slovakia have joined forces to initiate the Slovak-Hungarian Emergency Response Fund for Ukrainians. The initiative aims to facilitate European donations to support the situation of Ukrainians in the border regions and answer urgent humanitarian and longer-term needs. The organisations have worked with their Ukrainian counterparts for decades and have long standing relationships with each other.
Donations will benefit non-profit organisations active in Ukraine to provide direct emergency aid in the country. The funds will be used to deliver, for example, medical, food, and hygiene parcels, as well as drinking water and firewood.
Donations will also support Hungarian and Slovakian non-profit organisations that are building and supporting refugee welcoming capacities in the two countries. As a result, the refugees gain access to immediate and acute needs, including legal and psychological assistance, and long-term support in inclusion, integration assistance, and education.
