Humanity Now Supports Displaced Families

What Happened

• In April–May 2025, Humanity Now teams visited Poland and Greece to support local aid organizations helping refugees and displaced families.
• In Athens they distributed warm clothing and children’s outfits at free drop-in centers run by partners like Amurtel.
• In Krakow, educational initiatives included Polish language lessons for refugee families, helping them integrate into schools and local life.
• Previously, in Ukraine’s border regions, a Humanity Now-funded pilot program provided medical vouchers for 83 vulnerable individuals. That success inspired Medair, a larger NGO, to expand support for 1,200 people, pledging an additional USD 80 000.

What Is Good About It

• Responsive local engagement: Supports grassroots partners who excel at delivering aid where it’s needed most.
• Direct, meaningful impact: Clothing, language lessons, and medical help address immediate and ongoing needs.
• Small grants with big results: A modest USD 5 700 grant helped launch a pilot that led to larger funding and scaled assistance.

Why It Leads to Positivity

1. Proof of concept: Demonstrates that targeted, local grants can catalyze larger humanitarian efforts.
2. Empowerment through aid: Supports dignity by supplying essentials and promoting inclusion via education.
3. Ripple effect of compassion: Inspirational efforts foster continued support and compassion from broader organizations.
