The Ministry of Social Policy, together with the National Social Service of Ukraine and the regional social protection departments, are restarting the program Help Nearby to meet the needs of internally displaced persons, primarily from vulnerable categories.
"We are now rapidly transforming the Help Nearby program, which worked for us during
severe quarantine restrictions for vulnerable groups. We change it taking into account the needs of people when they are displaced.The social protection departments will promptly collect the needs of people by categories: accommodation, transportation, food, hygiene and personal protection, medicines, technical means of rehabilitation and others. The regions will also inform about the available resources to meet these needs. Thus, on the one hand, we will have needs, on the other - resources to satisfy those needs.
We are now mobilizing the help of all donors, philanthropists, NGOs who are ready to join, humanitarian aid to provide support to as many people as possible," said Maryna Lazebna, Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine.
The Minister noted that they have already expressed readiness to work together in the framework of the program Help Nearby.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Peace Foundation, the Right to Health NGO, the US Embassy in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Children’s Rights Network, the Slovak Embassy participate with many others joining.
