“Save the Children is extremely grateful for Pilot Company’s support in response to the devastating crisis in Ukraine,” said Luciana Bonifacio, chief development officer at Save the Children. “The funds raised will enable us to distribute critical emergency supplies and, where possible, establish safe spaces for children, ultimately helping protect impacted children and families in Ukraine and neighboring countries.”
Save the Children is focusing its relief efforts in Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Lithuania. More than 2.5 million Ukrainians have fled to Poland, and more than 670,000 have arrived in Romania, according to a recent Ukraine crisis briefing. The organization has “opened a food pipeline from Romania to western Ukraine, transporting food by truck,” the briefing said.
