Canadian Jesuits International is receiving donations for the work of Jesuits and their lay partners in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries as they accompany people forcibly displaced by the war. Jesuit relief efforts are being coordinated by Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in Europe which has a long experience on the ground.

In Ukraine, the Jesuit community is accompanying people fleeing the devastation of war. In border countries, they accompany the refugee population, mainly in Poland, Hungary and Romania, as well as a second line of work in five countries in southeastern Europe that are also receiving refugees. The main activities are: 1) temporary shelter/accommodation for refugee population; 2) food, water and other basic materials; 3) facilitating the transport of the refugee population; 4) legal assistance; 5) psychosocial support and other protection mechanisms; and 6) educational support.

CJI is one of many Jesuit organizations around the world contributing to this effort. All donations received for the Ukranian relief effort will be channeled through JRS Europe.
