The Ukrainian Refugee Assistance Fund (UNHCR) provides financial support to vulnerable categories of citizens. The multi-purpose assistance amounts to 10,800 hryvnias for each family member over a three-month period.
According to the Charitable Fund 'The Right to Protection', which is the official partner of the data collection agency, internally displaced persons who relocated within the last six months, as well as those who returned to Ukraine or to their permanent places of residence after forced displacement due to military actions, can apply.
Who can qualify for the payment
Families with an income of less than 6,318 hryvnias per person, belonging to certain categories and meeting vulnerability criteria, have the right to assistance.
Three categories of citizens can apply for the program. The first is internally displaced persons who relocated within the last six months within Ukraine and have not received financial assistance from UNHCR before, as well as those who have not received support from other organizations in the last three months.
Vulnerability criteria
Applicants must meet at least one of the three vulnerability criteria. This includes a family with one parent (mother or father) with one or more children under the age of 18, or with elderly persons aged 55 and older.
For detailed information, the UNHCR hotline operates at 0 800 307 711 from Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
UNHCR provides financial assistance to vulnerable groups of citizens, including internally displaced persons and those who returned after forced displacement due to military actions. This assistance helps to ensure a minimum standard of living for low-income families who meet vulnerability criteria. UNHCR establishes specific conditions for submitting an application for assistance, ensuring a fair and effective distribution of funds among those who need support the most.
