Soccer for Ukraine
Millions of people are being forced to flee their homes in Ukraine. By donating now, you’ll help WFP and UNHCR deliver food, shelter and other lifesaving aid to these families in crisis.
The global soccer community is coming together as one team with two of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), to support Ukrainians affected by the war.
We are working day and night inside Ukraine and its neighboring countries to reach people who urgently need our help.
This joint appeal brings together UNHCR’s expertise in protecting families forced to flee and WFP’s experience in the fight against hunger. Your donation will directly support Ukrainians impacted by the war.
UNHCR is dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.
UNHCR and WFP serve nearly 200 million people
91% of UNCHR's staff is based in the field
WFP delivers 15 billion meals every year
HOW WE ARE HELPING THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE
EMERGENCY FOOD
WFP has mobilized enough food supplies to reach 3 million people inside Ukraine for one month. Emergency food supplies including high energy biscuits, canned foods and wheat flour are being delivered.
RELIEF ITEMS
Inside Ukraine, UNHCR has been delivering necessities including blankets, sleep mats and emergency shelters. Stockpiles of essential supplies like thermal blankets have been sent to neighboring countries.
LOGISTICS
On behalf of the United Nations, WFP is on the ground in Ukraine and in a number of neighboring countries to lead the emergency telecommunications and logistics responses.
PROTECTION
UNHCR is present at border areas and reception centers to help identify and provide dedicated care to refugees, set up helplines, and provide safe spaces for protection services for children, families and others with specific needs.
