Ukraine Crisis
Our impact in Ukraine
The conflict that erupted in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 forced millions of people to flee their homes in extremely difficult circumstances, and caused a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Canadians quickly rallied to help the people of Ukraine. The Humanitarian Coalition and its member agencies spearheaded a nationwide fundraising campaign in 2022 that mobilized the generosity of Canadians and raised more than $12 million.
These contributions made a concrete difference. Here is how you have helped, both inside Ukraine and in Moldova, Romania and Poland.
