Ukraine Relief Fund
As the crisis in the Ukraine worsens, the devastating consequences for civilians and the resulting humanitarian needs, especially for children, are only expected to rise. This is why, UBS Optimus Foundation has launched the Ukraine Relief Fund. To ensure maximum impact, they are supporting the International Rescue Committee and Americares, who are providing emergency support and health-focused humanitarian aid to families and children forced to flee their homes by working with local partners in Ukraine and in neighboring countries, such as Poland. The UBS Optimus Foundation is also partnering with Lumos and Hope and Homes for Children, who are working to ensure that amid this chaos, children in orphanages are safe, protected, and placed in suitable family-based care settings. With a gift to the UBS Optimus Foundation Ukraine Relief Fund, you could support thousands of people in immediate need.
