2022/23 : In Romania, emergency kits and medical care for Ukrainian refugee children
Every minute, nearly 10 Ukrainian children are torn from their homes. Since February 24, 2022, the war has forced more than 4 million children to flee their homes (source UNICEF). Many parents then decide to send their children to safety abroad. But martial law requires all men aged 18 to 60 to stay in the country to fight. The children therefore leave Ukraine either alone or accompanied by the women of the family. To escape the imminent danger, most leave in a hurry. In the emergency, they leave behind all their material possessions. Added to the distress of their exodus is the despair of the abandonment and destruction (looting, bombing) of their homes.
2 million Ukrainian children then took refuge in Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and also Western Europe.
These children need EVERYTHING ! The project consists of providing emergency medical care, food support, hygiene kits, warm clothes, blankets, psychological support, safe resting places, help in finding family members, connecting with their loved ones...
In this context, the NGO Hope & Homes for Children is investing in the "Blue Dots". These Blue Dots are safe spaces created by UNICEF with the UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency) and the United Nations Children's Fund. They manage the continuous flow of thousands of refugee children (reception, identification, registration).
In 2023, La Fondation La Petite Etoile is involved with its partner Hope & Homes for Children and provides emergency kits, medical check-ups, necessary care, medicines, etc. to Ukrainian refugee children in 4 regions of Romania: Brasov, Sibiu, Cluj and Maramures.
Total budget : € 220,000
Co-participants : Fondation La Petite Etoile, Hope and Homes for Children, Unicef
Budget provided by La Fondation La Petite Etoile : € 6,000
End of project : June 2024
