It’s been a year since the invasion of Ukraine began. UNHCR’s refugee count as of March 3 is at around 1.2 million people. As an organisation advocating on the rights and protection of children, Good Neighbours condemns the brutality against civilians and is deeply concerned over the plight of Ukrainian children. We stand with international agencies in calling for the immediate ceasefire and cessation of hostilities.

We are very thankful to [Good Neighbours Australia] that is helping us and helping fellow Ukrainians. You provide help to the children, to the adult workers. We receive a lot of good food here. Our basic but urgent need is now met. Food and warmth is given to us. And to you we are very thankful.
The ‘Knit One, Warm One’ project harnesses the efforts of volunteers, from crafty kids to knitting nannies, who’ve filled a shipping container with hand-crafted blankets, beanies, gloves, cardigans, socks, knitted toys and wraps, to send to war-affected Ukrainians every year, since 2022.
