UNICEF supports vulnerable families when attacks on critical infrastructure cause prolonged disruptions to essential services: electricity, heating or water supply.
The assistance is designed for rapid response and support to families who are especially vulnerable to such shortages. Under the current programme, emergency payments are UAH 4,100 per eligible person.
How it works. Depending on the location and programme conditions, assistance is typically provided through local social protection authorities. Families receiving assistance through state systems are identified, verified and receive payments through the relevant social protection bodies. UNICEF does not conduct open online registration for this assistance.
Programme implementation depends on the scale of the crisis situation. Information about settlements where such support is launched is provided by local authorities.
Beware of scams. UNICEF hotline: 0 800 600 017, Monday–Friday 9:00–17:00.
