Citizens of Ukraine who have the status of internally displaced persons and have dependent children can receive financial support in the amount of more than UAH 2000. This assistance is intended for the most vulnerable segments of the population with the assistance of the German Federal Foreign Office.

Information on the availability of this assistance was published by the Children's Wellbeing Foundation, which is responsible for distributing the funds. The foundation works in cooperation with the German organization Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKN) and is funded by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Foundation also announced the start of the selection of participants for the financial assistance program.

Assistance is promised for families that are recognized as the most vulnerable: they will receive payments of UAH 2,400 per person for 4 months. The money is intended to buy food and hygiene products. Families that are eligible to participate in the selection process are those who:

  • are raising children under 18 years of age;
  • received IDP status after February 2022;
  • currently live in Kyiv or Kyiv region.
