Global Empowerment Mission and Bstrong arrived in Medyka, along the Ukrainian-Polish border within 2 days of the start of the crisis. Our assistant plan includes the following:
Aid into Ukraine: Since the cities under siege are running low on supplies, your donation is importing and purchasing food, water, basic necessities, medicine and medical equipment needed in a war zone. These are handed off to our Polish partner who delivers the aid all across Ukraine.
Relocation assistance: Since the border cities are inundated with refugees, we are rapidly identifying people who have friends and family within the EU that can house and support them. Your donation funds 100% of the refugee’s transportation, lodging and airfare to the destination of their loved ones. Also, we are helping refugees out of tents and into warm homes of Polish families through our connection with the Polish churches.
Stability housing: With our Polish partners and Airbnb, your donation is renting additional housing facilities to refugees who are unable to find temporary housing through Polish families. We are funding 100% of their housing, food and transportation needed.
Non-Ukrainian refugees: We have identified a special class of refugees where the needs are much more complicated due to visa situations and language barriers. With your donation, we are actively working with various agencies to provide a service that other NGOs may not currently provide. Please visit globalempowermentmission.org/AfricanStudentUkraineFund
Expansion into Hungary & Romania: Your donation is scaling outside of Poland to partners in two other Ukrainian border countries to provide aid.
You might feel helpless and overwhelmed with the news. But, you CAN do something. With your help and donations, we are able to scale these operations, evacuate women and children, relocate refugees, and provide dignity and safety to those who have been traumatized. Don’t sit on the sideline while thousands are left homeless. Join Global Empowerment Mission and Bstrong to make a difference.
