WE CARE FOR UKRAINE

No one chooses to end up under the bombs of a war, regardless of where you live, the color of your skin, whether you are a man, woman or child.

As Scalabrinian Missionaries of Europe and Africa, we have always been sensitive to the many conflicts still being fought in the world today. In our projects and missions, we strive every day to offer our support to the victims of every human exodus, the many migrants and refugees fleeing poverty, persecution, war, and despair.

Today we want to take action to also support all people fleeing the war in Ukraine, regardless of their citizenship. Many of them have already arrived in our territory, many will arrive in the upcoming weeks.

For this reason, as SIMN Europe Africa through ASCS, we are kicking off #WeCareForUkraine, a Fundraising and Awareness Raising Campaign that aims to provide a concrete response to this dramatic situation that is disrupting the lives of millions of people.

OUR COMMITMENT

Emergency
Social

We collaborate with some local entities that have already activated collections of medical and food items to be sent to Ukraine or the border countries. We will also donate basic necessities, covering essential needs, to families and people affected by war who come to our projects and missions in Europe.

Emergency
Housing

We support people and families arriving from Ukraine, some already accepted into ASCS projects in Italy. Working in a network with other partners, we want to accompany those in need in their search for housing, including acting as a liaison between people looking for housing and those who want to open their homes to welcoming.

Emergency
Sanitary

We promote the physical and psychological health of those who are suffering the consequences of war. With the WASI project, a psychological desk for migrant women, already active for the Ukrainian Community in Milan, we want to increase individual and group meetings with native-speaking psychologists.

OUR ACTION IN EUROPE

In the various Scalabrinian projects and missions in Europe, we are already getting active with several initiatives to support the major humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. We want to tell you what we are doing in our realities to cope with different emergencies.
