The potential for significant loss of life; destruction of homes, hospitals, and schools; deprivation of basic needs such as water, heating and communication systems is extremely high. Additionally, a significant influx of millions of refugees to neighbouring countries is expected.<\/p>\n<p>In Ukraine and in neighbouring countries, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is preparing its teams to protect lives and bring support to those in need. ADRA Ukraine has over thirty employees and equipped offices in Kyiv, Kramatorsk, Mariupol and Mukachevo. There are also local ADRA coordinators and hundreds of volunteers all over the country. With the help of the staff, coordinators, and volunteers, ADRA is responding in different parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_10280\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10280\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ADRA-Ukraine-2-630.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10280\" src=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ADRA-Ukraine-2-630.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ADRA-Ukraine-2-630.jpg 630w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ADRA-Ukraine-2-630-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ADRA-Ukraine-2-630-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Please support the appeal through your national ADRA office [photos: courtesy of Jo\u00e3o Martins]<\/figcaption><\/figure><strong>Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ADRA teams in Ukraine\u2019s neighbouring countries (such as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova) need funds to assist refugees fleeing Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>ADRA Ukraine needs funding in order to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Continue its Water <em>Sanitation and Hygiene Programme<\/em> in the east of Ukraine<\/strong>.
