Hand in Hand

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, a little over 6 million women children and the elderly have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries. Since March 4, a team of Everyday Refugees Foundation has been on the ground at the Romanian-Ukrainian border to help and support people fleeing the war in Ukraine.

 

On March 15 we headed to Suceava train station, about 43 kilometers from the Romanian-Ukrainian border, to distribute outdoor footwear from KEEN Europe to Ukrainian refugee women and children waiting to board a train to the Romanian capital.
