Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, over 12 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, 7 million of which have had to relocate to different countries while the rest have retreated to safer regions in the west. Most of these people have had to start from scratch, leaving their jobs, homes and comforts for their own safety. Some have even had to learn new languages or careers to integrate into their new communities.
Meanwhile, many cities in Ukraine that a year ago stood peacefully have been demolished as a consequence of the invasion and are in need of rebuilding. The rest of the world has also felt the economic shock of the war as staple food prices have shot up from the collateral food insecurity that the war has engendered.
Ukrainians and the rest of the world need the recourse of human ingenuity and organisation to rebuild and provide humanitarian assistance to victims of the war.
