With over 7.3 million people under the age of 18, the Ukrainian youth have mostly left the country.
More than 6.6 million Ukrainian refugees have been recorded across Europe and about the same number are displaced inside Ukraine. According to Axios News,
- The U.N. refugee agency has labeled the exodus from Ukraine the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
- “The speed of the displacement, coupled with the huge numbers of people affected, is unprecedented in Europe in recent memory,” said U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi in late March.
- “I have spoken with women, with children, who have been gravely affected by this war,” he added.
- “Forced to flee extraordinary levels of violence, they have left behind their homes and often their families, leaving them shocked and traumatized. The protection and humanitarian needs are enormous, and continue to grow. And while critically urgent, humanitarian aid alone cannot give them what they really need – and that is peace.”
At least 972 children in Ukraine have been killed since the start of the war, UNICEF executive director Catherine Russell said in a statement Monday, though she warned the true number is likely higher.
- “We estimate that 1 in 10 schools have been damaged or destroyed,” Russell added.
- Almost two out of every three children in Ukraine have been displaced by the war, UNICEF said in early June. Three million children inside Ukraine and over 2.2 million children in refugee-hosting countries are in need of humanitarian assistance, UNICEF added.
- “They have been forced to leave everything behind: Their homes, their schools, and often, their family members,” UNICEF emergency programs director Manual Fontaine said.
- “Every day the war continues, children will continue to suffer,” he said
While Ukranian adults have developed some coping skills to somewhat deal with the current tragedies of war, Ukranian kids and teenagers haven’t had enough life experiences to deal with the cicumstances out of their control. Most are separated from their fathers who are actively fighting in the war. They have relocated, out of school and lost touch with their friends. It’s easy to feel powerless and alone when overwhelmed with circumstances out of their control. Ukraide was formed to aide these kids and more.
Our Mission
Eukraide was formed in 2022 with the mission to support and aid Ukranian youth across the globe as they deal with current war in their home country. We will empower each and every one of them to strive for personal success and a better life.

After a trip to Ukraine shortly before the current war, the Sayah family felt particularly connected to the Ukranian people. Researching the current aid available to the Ukranians, they noticed the one impact of war which was not sufficiently addressed in all the aid organizations was support for Ukrainian kids. UKRAIDE was set up to organize people, particularly kids from all around the world, to get in touch with as many Ukrainian youth as possible to show them they have the support of the world and to help them communicate with peers. Ukraide instills hope in the youth for a better future and empowers them by teaching other languages and skills to promote their success as they grow up to be adults.
Ukraide is entirely self-funded and does not seek any financial donations at this time.
