Heart of Giving Podcast: Yuriy Boyechko on Feeding Citizens Displaced by War
This week we speak with Yuryi Boyechko, Executive Director of Hope for Ukraine. Our conversation was both eye-opening and deeply moving.
The war in Ukraine is now entering its third year, and the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Yuryi shared with me first-hand accounts of recent attacks on civilian areas and the growing number of families falling into poverty. It's a stark reminder that while this conflict may no longer dominate our headlines, the suffering continues.
In our discussion, Yuryi detailed how Hope for Ukraine is providing crucial aid:
• Distributing 1,500 food kits weekly to families in need
• Operating mobile bakeries and kitchens near the front lines
• Running education and mental health programs for children affected by war
• Managing a displacement center for families fleeing conflict zones
