Ukrainian Women’s Fund

Since February 2022, over 210,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Canada, and British Columbia has welcomed 13.2% of arrivals, the third highest in Canada, with the majority settling in Metro Vancouver. Many speak little to no English, and exhibit signs of PTSD. They have limited access to resources such as housing, childcare and more. 

This means that many women and children will be relying on communities for support. 

To date, we have provided vital support to 101 families from Ukraine, offering help with individual needs and navigating unfamiliar systems and employment. We have distributed donations of clothes, food, gift cards, bus tickets, and household items. Our Outreach Support Worker provided translation services, shared resources, and supported their mental health while building trusting relationships. Women from these families have been welcomed to join our low barrier English classes, and their young children have been provided with care while mothers are in class. We have also started Ukrainian Women’s Employment Support program to help women navigate the Canadian job market.  

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone for their unwavering support. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to assist Ukrainian families during challenging times. The Ukraine Women Fund will remain active, and we welcome further donations to aid Ukrainian families as they strive to establish themselves in Canada. Thank you for making a meaningful impact.
