We’ve worked in the Ukraine
for decades – but today, the
need is different.
The estimated 200,000 Jews living in Ukraine have been
profoundly affected by the political and economic instability that
have wracked the country. Thousands are trapped in conflict
zones in the east. Thousands more have fled the fighting.
Help Jewish Federations across North America raise $20 million
to support the communities in Ukraine, working with our partners
on the ground: Jewish Agency for Israel, JDC and World ORT.
Emergency Funding will focus on:
• •
• •
• •
• Helping people make Aliyah to Israel
Securing the local community and its institutions
Maintaining critical welfare services
Assisting internally displaced people in multiple locations
Launching an emergency hotline
Securing temporary housing for people in transit
Purchasing satellite phones to maintain communications
across the region
• Securing five Jewish schools and training staff to manage
crisis needs
Our Ukrainian brothers and sisters are counting on you. Your gift to
the Emergency Response Fund will help provide these urgent needs.
