His team of volunteers brings hope to the frontlines of war in Ukraine

Description

The Ukrainian NGO Proliska has helped to evacuate thousands of people from frontline areas in Ukraine, ensuring that the most vulnerable groups, like older people, persons with disabilities and families with few resources, are not forgotten. And for those unable or unwilling to flee, Proliska’s teams continues to deliver essential aid, like water, medical care, psychosocial support and critical supplies. Proliska was honored with the 2025 Nansen Refugee Award for Europe, for their work supporting people affected by war in Ukraine. Proliska has been UNHCR’s NGO partner since 2016 following the beginning of the war in 2014 and throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion. Remaining operational across the most heavily affected areas, currently the organization works across 13 regions with a staff of some 1,000 people. In the aftermath of air strikes and shelling, Proliska is often among the first to respond, operating alongside state and municipal emergency responders. Numerous NGOs, volunteers and communities continue to shape and strengthen the humanitarian and recovery response during the full-scale war. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution. Since 1950, we have helped tens of millions of people find safety and rebuild their lives. With your support, we can restore hope for many more. Learn more on our website: http://UNHCR.org
