Estonian Refugee Council to help over 23,000 Ukrainians with EU support
Where and to whom the assistance will be provided
The new consortium includes the Estonian Refugee Council, the international organization INTERSOS, and the Ukrainian charitable organizations Svitlo Nadii, Coordination Humanitarian Center, and Posmishka UA.
The partners will work in six regions:
The support will primarily target residents of frontline communities, areas where access has recently been restored, and districts with limited humanitarian access.
Priority groups include internally displaced people, families affected by the war, older people, and people with disabilities. People who need legal, social, or psychosocial support will also be able to receive assistance. A significant share of services will be provided during evacuations and in transit centers.

The most vulnerable families will receive cash assistance. They will be able to use the funds for urgent needs and set their own priorities.
A separate area of the program will focus on restoring livelihoods. It aims to help families:
Households that keep livestock will also receive support. Small farms will be able to buy winter feed, improve conditions for keeping animals, and access veterinary services.
The project will also provide psychosocial support, case management services,, and individual legal consultations, including those on housing, land, and property rights. It also includes measures to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.
From emergency assistance to recovery
Yuliia Tur, head of the Estonian Refugee Council's representative office in Ukraine, stressed that the consortium's task is not only to respond to emergencies but also to help people return to stable lives.
Marianna Franco, head of European Union humanitarian aid in Ukraine, noted that the scale of humanitarian needs in Ukraine requires different organizations to join forces.
"By bringing together experienced humanitarian partners, this European Union-funded consortium will provide coordinated support that will help people meet their most urgent needs and improve access to protection and life-saving services," Marianna Franco said.
Information about the launch of the programs, participation conditions, selection criteria, and application procedures will be published on the communication platforms of the organizations participating in the consortium.
