Humanitarian Aid

Humanitarian Aid

One of the priorities of the Union of Roma Women Voice of Romni is to provide Roma communities in Ukraine with the necessary resources in times of war. Our main goal is to offer humanitarian support to the most vulnerable groups: women, children, and elderly people, who often face discrimination and social isolation.

According to the results of our research, humanitarian aid is one of the greatest needs of Roma communities during the war. After the full-scale invasion began, about 40% of Roma lost their jobs, leaving them unable to support their families. 66% of respondents have an urgent need for food and drinking water, while more than 70% need clothing and hygiene products.

At Voice of Romni, we continue to work on supporting Roma communities and doing everything we can to ensure their requests are heard.

Since the start of the full-scale war, the organization has distributed food packages to over 13,000 individuals, hygiene kits to more than 4200 individuals, and financial assistance to over 23000. They also support Roma communities by providing firewood, power banks, water filters, and warm blankets.
