With a global presence in over 132 countries, the Salesians of Don Bosco find themselves uniquely placed to enact a co-ordinated response to the global humanitarian emergencies. Working at the grassroots of communities, Salesians are well placed to provide direct aid and relief which is quick, compassionate and generous to those most in need. Currently we are raising funds to Help Support, Feed and Protect Lives during the Ukraine unrest. 

Latest Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Assistance

Our Salesians in the Ukraine are working tirelessly, caring for orphans as well as providing shelter and relief to those in need. Salesian Communities in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic are actively working with local agencies to protect and take care of as many Ukraine refugees as they can, arranging transport and emergency shelter; providing food, baby formula, clean water and generators for heat and cooking; procuring and distributing medical supplies, blankets and personal hygiene items; and so much more.

How will the funds be used?
The funds will be used to provide relief support to the many who seek refuge and assistance from the Don Bosco Community’s and Schools in the affected Regions.

Current Outreach programs include: 

• The distribution of groceries, cooked food, protective equipment hygiene items, medical supplies and general supplies to the poor and needy.
• The supply of accommodation and shelter for displaced persons.
