-International Network Launches Multiple Support Projects”
ADRA International has actively assisted Ukrainian refugees for more than a year since Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine. Through partnerships with government, private organizations, and international organizations, ADRA has been at the forefront of providing support activities.
According to the status report of the “Ukraine Project” (as of February 6, 2023) sent by ADRA International to ADRA Korea, ADRA is currently conducting major projects in eight fields.
ADRA is mobilizing its international network to provide $1 million worth of shelter. As many citizens were unable to return to their homes and are residing in shelters within their own country or neighboring countries, ADRA has provided cash assistance to three shelters. Additionally, ADRA has distributed vouchers in areas such as Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, Boyarka, Moschen, Nemishayev and Makariv in the Kyiv region.
ADRA Sweden conducted multi-purpose cash assistance activities with a self-raised fund of $500,000. Through this, more than 2,100 refugees in areas such as Kherson, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhia received assistance. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) supported the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund with $27 million through ADRA International to provide emergency winter response and support for non-food items. Based on this, ADRA International conducted a needs assessment in areas such as Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Donetsk, and installed 27 heating devices and 12 generators in temporary shelters. Additionally, 124 tons of wood pellets were distributed in Donetsk, and construction material vouchers were provided to 47 households in Kyiv to repair homes destroyed by the bombing.

The World Food Program (WFP), headquartered in Rome, has provided $24 million in support to ADRA Ukraine and has requested collaboration for the rapid supply and distribution of food. As a result, over 6.57 million people have benefited. The Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation (SlovakAid) has also donated $330,000 to ADRA for food and hygiene items for vulnerable populations. Local Adra groups have provided food, hygiene items, and generators to approximately 24,000 refugees.
The Canadian non-profit organization, Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA), has also committed $23 million to ADRA. In response, ADRA International launched the LEAP project to support emergency transportation, economic, and psychosocial activities. Through this project, over 8,000 people staying in high-risk areas were able to evacuate to safer places, and 5,700 people received cash assistance. Additionally, ADRA provided psychological counseling to over 3,200 people.
During the early stages of the military coup in Myanmar, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which had previously worked on a “Refugee Food Support Project” with ADRA Korea, carried out a food assistance project worth $22,000 with ADRA International. Approximately 7,000 vulnerable people in the Kherson region were able to solve their food problems.
