We are a U.S. based non-profit dedicated to delivering critical help in Ukraine by providing humanitarian aid as needs evolve, refugee support and a focus on recovery and reconstruction.
Standing with Ukraine
Ukraine Friends, a mission of 501c3 Worldwide Friends, is a U.S.-based organization founded as an emergency response to Russia’s unjustified aggression against Ukraine. We deliver critical help on the ground by providing humanitarian aid as needs evolve, always focused on being thoughtful and deliberate in our approach and ensuring complete transparency to our donors.

Our focus
Humanitarian
Our focus is to provide the critical aid
necessary for the people of Ukraine to
survive. We are both nimble and tactical,
providing help where it is needed the most
in an effective and efficient way.
Refugee Support
Our goal is to evacuate refugees and
move them to secure locations. Through
a partnership with AirBnB, we are able
to provide safe, temporary housing for
many of the refugees.
Reconstruction
Our objective is to build affordable and
sustainable communities for Ukrainian
refugees. We are committed to provide
the resources needed to rebuild their
lives and communities.

Programs for recovery
& reconstruction
The conflict in Ukraine has displaced millions of people and
caused widespread damage to infrastructure, businesses
and housing. The Ukraine Friends Communities of Hope
Program will focus on developing and designing an inclusive,
diverse and resilient community.
