RAJA helps Ukraine

RAJA donates €200,000 to two humanitarian organisations, Doctors Without Borders and the French Red Cross, to meet the urgent needs of the war-affected population in Ukraine. The RAJA Danièle-Marcovici Foundation donated €50,000 for emergency aid to the Polish Women’s Rights Centre, which helps Ukrainian refugees.

“I am deeply saddened by this serious humanitarian crisis that is causing so much suffering to the Ukrainian people. Many women, men and children are in urgent need of help. That’s why we support two major humanitarian organisations that are helping people in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries that are hosting refugees,” says Danièle Kapel-Marcovici, President and CEO of RAJA Group.

RAJA Group is present in the countries neighbouring Ukraine – Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and also in the Czech Republic. The group’s branches in European countries, together with local NGOs, support refugees by donating clothes, food, money, toys and packaging to associations that supply medical materials, daily necessities, food, etc. to Ukraine.

In Poland, the RAJA-Danièle Marcovici Foundation, which supports activities for women and girls, provided emergency aid of €50 000 to the Polish Women’s Rights Centre, which is preparing to receive refugees from Ukraine.

The current situation on the border between Ukraine and Romania has prompted many employees of Viking (a company acquired by the RAJA Group in 2021), based in Cluj, Romania, to immediately get involved in helping refugees arriving in the country. In cooperation with local NGOs, they provide transport, accommodation and basic supplies to the refugees.

“I am thinking of all the Ukrainian women and their children who have decided to emigrate. I think of the Ukrainian men who were mobilized and could not accompany them. I am moved by the spirit of solidarity that our teams have shown and I firmly hope that this war will end quickly.” says Danièle Kapel-Marcovici.

TheInternational Red Cross and Red CrescentMovement is engaged in the region to help people affected by the conflict in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. The Doctors Without Borders Emergency Fund enables its teams to respond quickly to humanitarian emergencies such as the one currently taking place in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. They are present in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Belarus and Russia to determine how best to support the reception of refugees most in need. The organisation also carries out emergency interventions in Ukraine, including providing support to hospitals.
