Binance has also launched a crypto-first crowdfunding site, called Ukraine Emergency Relief Fund to allow people to donate crypto to help provide emergency relief to refugees and children and to support logistics on the ground such as food, fuel and supplies for refugees. A donation of 16,042 BNB, with the equivalent value of US$6 million, has already been made by Binance.
Binance is also working with a number of local refugee groups who are actively working to expedite Ukrainians’ passage across the border into safety in two neighboring countries.
Binance Charity has an ongoing collaboration with UNICEF via its Luxembourg Committee, having worked together to provide assistance following the Beirut Explosion and to support COVID-19 global vaccination efforts (COVAX). Our latest donation will go towards protecting the welfare of Ukraine’s 7.5 million children. As the conflict escalates so will the needs of the children and their families. UNICEF’s current actions include pre-positioning of critical supplies, providing safe drinking water, supporting families on the move, child protection, emergency educational resources and psychosocial support.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution. UNHCR has been on the ground in Ukraine providing critical relief and shelter to people forced to flee since 2014. With a longstanding presence in the region, field operations across the country and warehouses with prepositioned relief items and shelter kits, UNHCR continues to stay and deliver humanitarian assistance whenever necessary and possible. We’re supporting UNHCR to help affected populations in the region by providing humanitarian, legal and social assistance including psychosocial support and emergency shelter to people in need.
The International Strategic Action Network (iSans) first created an organization in Poland in 2020 to host Belarusian refugees following the Lukashenko regime’s crackdown on democratic protests. Based on their experience further in the region, they are well established to revive operations to obtain Ukrainian refugees. .
Since its inception in 2018, Binance Charity has donated $10 million to projects that help in the aftermath of global mistakes and to solve complex social and environmental problems.
