HabAid has been supporting the Alumim orphanage in the UKRAINE for over eight years Indeed a delegation was due to shortly visit the orphanage. HabAid is in a fortunate position to be able to make an immediate impact by providing emergency support directly to Alumim, a recognised Ukrainian Jewish orphanage. Our mission is to help where the needs are greatest.

At the start of the invasion, the 50+ Alumim children thought they were safe. However, after 2 nights of bombing, the orphanage staff were forced to urgently move the children to a safer location in the Carpathian mountains. No one knows when or what they will return to.

In the short term, Alumim urgently needs infrastructure support including generators, beds, bedding, etc. They also need food and clothing supplies.

Alumim has offered to assist other orphanages in Ukraine that are in a similar desperate need, despite the financial strains of looking after these extra children. As a result, we need and ask for your help. Our HabAid team are in almost daily contact with the Alumim staff to assess their immediate needs.

Please give whatever you can to help these children in desperate times. HabAid has no overhead costs and all of our team are volunteers. That way, every penny that is donated will go directly to support the children.
