Organizations and Initiatives Helping Ukrainian Refugees in Poland

The ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war has led to a mass exodus of millions of Ukrainians seeking safety and humanitarian aid in neighboring countries such as Poland. Despite the devastating situation, several initiatives, projects, and pledges have emerged to support and provide homes and assistance for those in dire need. Among the organizations and programs are Drapen i Havet and One Box for Ukraine, which offer humanitarian aid to refugees.

Drapen i Havet, or “A Drop in the Ocean,” is a Norwegian nonprofit established in 2015 with a humanitarian mission to aid displaced individuals and offer information about their situation. The organization operates in Norway, Greece, Bosnia, and Poland, and has been rescuing refugees in the Mediterranean Sea since its inception. In response to the war in Ukraine, Drapen i Havet has expanded its support to refugees by providing essential financial assistance and other forms of aid.
