The Ukraine crisis a year on

The conflict that started on February 24, 2022 in Ukraine brought unimaginable suffering. Now, one year into the crisis, we call on the world to act. The children of Ukraine deserve a world where they can live and grow in peace.

Country Details

Since the crisis in Ukraine started on February 24, 2022, more than one third of the country’s population has been either internally displaced or forced to flee as refugees. Nearly 18 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Because of your support, World Vision is there. We are meeting immediate needs with food, shelter and hygiene. And we have a strategic plan to continue supporting families in Ukraine on the road ahead.
World Vision's Ukraine Crisis Response

Our response began by meeting people with essential services at the border of Romania, where we have worked for 30 years. In early March, we launched a multi-country, multisector response, serving refugees in Georgia and establishing new offices in Moldova and Ukraine. We are now in 23 Ukrainian municipalities, and 70% of programming is planned for eastern Ukraine, where the need is greatest.


Working in partnership with established nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), coalitions and faith communities, we can complement each other’s strengths and reach more people, more quickly. Partnerships also allow our response to be grassroots-driven, empowering communities to help each other more effectively.


Our 18-month Ukraine Crisis Response, running from October 2022 to January 2024, has three strategic objectives:

  • Objective 1: Deliver life-saving in-kind and cash assistance to meet basic food, shelter, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) needs
  • Objective 2: Support affected women and children with child protection, provide mental health and psychosocial support services, and prevent and protect against sexual exploitation and abuse
  • Objective 3: Provide access to education, livelihoods, social protection, and other basic services
