Ukrainian Crisis Response Fund.

CWS has been active in Moldova through several local partners and projects for years. Shortly after Russia’s invasion, CWS deployed a specialized staff team to Moldova and Romania to assess the needs of displaced and host communities and recommend how CWS and its partners may best respond. Unfortunately, it is increasingly clear that the humanitarian consequences of Russia’s invasion have only worsened, and persisting hostilities continue to threaten the safety, well-being, and even lives, of countless Ukrainians and others affected.

CWS is committed to assisting Ukrainians and others impacted by Russia’s aggression for the long-term. Their response will focus in three areas:

Humanitarian Assistance: Meeting displaced communities immediate humanitarian needs, such as food and shelter, and supporting host communities.

1. Protection (including Child Protection, Gender Based Violence prevention, and anti-trafficking measures): Building and/or strengthening existing protection mechanisms able to ensure refugees receive safe and dignified assistance and accommodation, with a focus on at-risk children and women.
2. Durable Solutions: Assisting displaced individuals access to current, language appropriate information and resources, and assist, when requested, with safe, onward movement, and asylum and protection in countries across Europe and in the United States, when appropriate.
