Children and their families are bearing the brunt of the escalating crisis in Ukraine

People across the country have fled their homes, with tens of thousands having fled to neighboring countries as the conflict increases. The U.N. estimates the wave of refugees could reach 5 million.  

"We are deeply concerned about the escalating conflict across Ukraine and how it will affect children’s wellbeing. World Vision stands with the girls and boys and families impacted by the crisis through this tough and changing time,” said Michael Messenger, President and CEO of World Vision Canada. “At this time, more than 7.5 million children living in Ukraine are at grave risk and we are working with our partners to prepare a humanitarian response. Meanwhile, we hope and pray for a swift resolution."
