Your generous donation helps to save and change lives every day.
Your charitable investment will go toward ongoing global relief to care for the underserved and vulnerable people of this community.

Overview
The Need
***Note: Full COVID-19 Vaccination is Required for Participation***
This situation is quickly becoming the largest humanitarian crisis in decades. As of 27 March 2022, around 3.9 million refugees had crossed from Ukraine to some seven neighboring countries. Most of those fleeing Ukraine are women and children.
This Mission
We are working with health agencies and local partners to provide the following relief services: acute primary medical and emergency medical services, dental care, mental health and continuing health education. IMR has been working globally to prevent infectious diseases and will continue this work, as well as Covid-19 protection for the Ukraine refugees.
Our teams are required to be adaptable to rapidly changing conditions and have an understanding that rapid response teams require strength and compassionate care and service. The war has resulted in devastating humanitarian consequences for the people, including lost livelihoods and limited access to healthcare as they embark on new territory and a new future. These refugees that fled conflict-affected areas have experienced incredible losses on multiple levels, compounding their suffering.
Lodging/Transportation
You will be assigned your deployment location with one of our staffed clinics in the surrounding territories. This situation is fluid and lodging accommodations will be adjusted to meet the greatest needs of the people, but you will be staying at a 4-star US-based hotel chain. Volunteers will have transportation to and from our relief site daily.
Highlights
The war in Ukraine is creating an increasingly desperate humanitarian crisis. International Medical Relief teams aiding Ukraine refugees in the surrounding region are responding to the conflict by expanding access to medical, dental, mental health services and sustainable health education for those living in affected communities. Our highlight is helping the refugees and providing the lifesaving care they deserve.
