Talk Description

When war threatened the safety of millions in Ukraine, those affected fled to neighboring countries like Poland, Moldova, and Bosnia to find a renewed sense of security. Tzu Chi is partnering with international NGOs, like UNICEF, IsraAID, and others, to provide relief supplies, medical services, educational services, psychosocial support, and more to those seeking refuge. 

In this episode, we reflected on the emergent challenges of displacement and explore solutions with those working on the front lines. From those in affected countries to right here in your local community, everyone can take part in providing those in need with a flourishing future. Together, we can provide dignity and relief to those facing displacement.
