DNA wants to help the people of Ukraine through charitable cooperation

Russia’s military action has caused a major humanitarian emergency in Ukraine and the situation has deteriorated rapidly. The need for every kind of aid is extremely high right now. DNA is making a donation totalling EUR 50,000 for the work of UNICEF, the Finnish Red Cross and Save the Children Finland in Ukraine.

UNICEF Finland

UNICEF and its partners protect the rights of children to health, education, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine. We will be immediately stepping up our efforts to protect those who have fled the country.

Finnish Red Cross

The Finnish Red Cross has launched an emergency relief fund to help those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross have been active in Ukraine throughout the conflict that began in 2014. Among other things, the Red Cross has distributed tens of thousands of food and hygiene kits to civilians in Ukraine, improved water supply, provided first aid training and evacuated people.

Save the Children Finland

Save the Children has been operating in Ukraine since 2014 and will continue to provide relief aid to children and their families. With your help, they provide relief aid such as food, water and winter clothing, take care of children who have lost their parents and help families get back together, provide shelter for fleeing children and families, and arrange psychosocial support.

Addressing children’s concerns

Children are now being exposed to scary things and they may have to see frightening pictures and programmes. How to alleviate the fears and worries of little ones? Our partner Protect Children provides practical instructions on how to address children’s concerns by paying attention, listening to the child and talking with them about what is going on. The Protect Children specialists have produced also an activity booklet for 4-9 years old children. Children can work on the booklet by themselves or with an adult. The story and the activities give an opportunity for children to think about their own feelings. The booklet is now translated in English, Swedish and Ukrainian. It will soon be translated in Norwegian, Italian, Polish and Russian, and the translation work will continue.
