Kherson WeCare Center

About Kherson

Portions of the Kherson region were occupied and the area has sustained significant damage. Thousands of area residents need assistance with daily needs. In addition, the Center’s staff and volunteers immediately began rescue operations during the flood resulting from the June 2023 destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam. This increased local needs for humanitarian services, trauma counseling, and repairs to homes to make them habitable.

High-priority needs: housing and home repairs, trauma care, humanitarian services

Services provided to 40,200+ people (June 2023-March 2026)
