As part of the ‘Everyone with Ukraine’ initiative, Real Madrid will donate one million euros to support individuals affected by the conflict in Ukraine. The Real Madrid Foundation initiated this effort on March 5 to help families who have had to evacuate their homes in Ukraine.
The Foundation collaborates with a variety of international NGOs, including the Spanish Red Cross, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Cesal, Misiones Salesianas, and Epicenter for children in this position.
Donation by Real Madrid
The Spanish Red Cross is involved in a massive humanitarian effort in Ukraine, such as giving life-saving supplies. They’re assisting in the reception of Ukrainian immigrants in Spain, and the Real Madrid Foundation has supplied sports and leisure equipment for kids.
The UNHCR is assisting in a variety of ways, including delivering blankets, beds, and other essential goods in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine’s central region, where more than 700 Ukrainians have arrived in recent days in search of safety.
Cesal is giving emergency assistance to vulnerable families in the Leopolis area and near the Polish border, and the Madrid Foundation has contributed almost 13,000 items of clothing to Cesal’s refugee program.
Children, mothers, and the elderly from the east, north, and south of the country are welcomed into Misiones Salesianas facilities, and they also care for refugees in Poland and Slovakia.
Since 2018, Epicenter for Children has collaborated with the Real Madrid Foundation at seven schools across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Ternopil, Irpin, and Khmelnytskyi. These schools’ students will receive logistical assistance to leave Ukraine.
