From supplying medical aid to providing access to food, these charities ensure nobody is stripped of their essential human rights
All around the world, many organisations are working tirelessly to provide counsel to Ukrainians that go days without food, medical attention, and shelter. As Malaysians, we understand how critical some of these necessities might be, but finding the right charity that accepts our assistance may be hard to identify at first glance.
We have put together a few charities that accept aid from anyone, around the world, including Malaysia:
1. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
UNHCR is a global humanitarian organisation dedicated to providing safeguard and protection to all individuals whose basic human rights are threatened within their birth country. The range of protection includes displaced and stateless people to refugees who were forced to leave their home out of fear of persecution.
Since the attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the UNHCR has worked tirelessly, providing safety and assistance to the nation and neighbouring countries welcoming them with open arms. You can support them in a variety of ways, including a one-off payment or a "monthly gift", all of which goes to supporting the programme to continue their noble work.

2. World Central Kitchen (WCK)
It started as a simple idea between celebrity chef José Andrés and his wife, Patricia, in their humble home that was devoted to providing meals to the hungry when in need. Since 2010, WCK has provided meals to those in Haiti, Puerto Rico, Australia, and Beirut. It only expanded their humanitarian works through the years. Though its mission began to aid countries facing natural disasters, the recent crisis in Ukraine did not go unnoticed by the organisation.
Popularising the hashtag #ChefsforUkraine, WCK is currently serving thousands of Ukrainians daily by providing fresh meals to those affected in Odessa and Lviv, as well as Ukrainians who have fled to other countries such as Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Slovakia.
