UFU came into existence on the first day of the Russian invasion.
Lawyers, digital creatives and tech professionals united to promptly help people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Two days later the platform was launched providing housing and legal advice, supported by 150 volunteers, 500 lawyers and initial partners for housing.
Our work was quickly supported and amplified by the International Rescue Committee, Google.org, Phineo, Airbnb, Meta and other notable partners. These partnerships allowed us to reach more than 5.5 million people in 2022 and support them with information, free legal and housing advice, psychological help and other valuable services.
To date, UFU International Emergency Relief Platform (ERP) covers 16 areas of critical information in 28 countries. In 2023 our priority is to expand our reach and deliver more value for people inside of Ukraine and our goal extends beyond emergency relief.
Our Recovery Initiative focuses on supporting small businesses (MSMEs) in Ukraine to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth and facilitate the country's recovery. We aim to drive sustainable economic recovery in Ukraine and support its path to EU accession.
Support through critical information. Strengthen through economic empowerment.
