Secure Internet at Humanitarian Aid Points
The cornerstone of our work is the effective coordination and constant communication between all our humanitarian aid points and the headquarters in Warsaw.
The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity has pledged PLN 35 million to help Ukrainians in Ukraine and support the Polish healthcare system in the coming months. It is faced with growing demands from people who escaped the war and found a safe home in Poland. We are in touch with local hospitals and working on providing support in the area of our expertise - by purchasing medical equipment, medical supplies such as bandages and other single-use supplies.
What does our charity do to help people escaping the war in Ukraine?
- We buy and deliver medical devices and single-use supplies such as bandages and fixation devices for Ukrainian hospitals.
- We buy and deliver medical devices to Polish hospitals that treat refugees. We donated instruments to the maternity ward in Przemyśl, to Chełm and supported 16 oncology wards for children in Poland.
- We finance and coordinate the work of two Humanitarian Aid Points. One is located in Ukraine at the Shegini border crossing. Volunteers provide emergency medical help, shelter, warm beverages, and food to refugees waiting to cross the border with Poland. The second humanitarian point serves as a temporary shelter in Warsaw.
