“Assistance and Caring for the Elderly”

UNWLA Announces New Initiative to Aid Ukraine’s Elderly

On the eve of the 85th anniversary of our organization we have turned our efforts to helping the elderly, an often neglected group of the population, by lending needed assistance to selected nursing homes in various regions (oblasts) of Ukraine. We aptly named our project “Assistance and Caring for the Elderly.” It is noteworthy that nursing homes, which were virtually unknown in Ukraine before World War II, are now overflowing. The economic crisis is serious and exacerbates the problem.

Members Participating in Packing
