IOM Works to Help

Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety.

The situation is evolving by the hour and the needs of vulnerable and displaced persons are increasing drastically.

IOM has been in Ukraine since 1996 and is committed to staying and delivering vital assistance to those fleeing the country, the internally displaced, migrants and third-country nationals. We continue to respond to the emerging humanitarian needs in the country and the region.
But we can’t do this alone – help us help more.

Donate today to help us provide emergency support to vulnerable people on the move.

100% of the proceeds go to operations on the ground.
