According to UNHCR some 17.9 million people in Ukraine are in need of humanitarian assistance, which equates to around 45% of the civilian population. Of this number, some 5.3 million are Internally Displaced Persons (IDP's), and 8.2 million forced into exile. This is a tragic humanitarian crisis, requiring a massive aid response. The prime objective is to meet immediate lifesaving needs of the crisis affected civilian population to preserve lives, ease suffering and promote self-sufficiency.
 
To ensure that donations reach Ukrainian IDP's as quickly as possible through secure reliable channels, partnerships have been formed with Caritas Ukraine and Rotary Club of Kyiv International. The purchase and delivery of urgently needed medical equipment has also been arranged through the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) working closely with Rotary International Districts and Clubs.
