Standing With Ukraine: What People in Need Has Achieved So Far in 2025

Emergency Assistance: Responding When Support Cannot Wait

When families lose access to water, electricity, income, or safe shelter, the need for immediate assistance is critical.

So far in 2025, more than 15,700 people have received emergency multipurpose cash assistance, enabling them to cover urgent expenses such as medicine, temporary accommodation, transport, or other essential needs. More than 38,000 people have received emergency water supplies in areas where local networks collapsed after attacks.

In parallel, extensive work to restore essential infrastructure has already supported tens of thousands of people:

• 121,504 people have regained access to safe water and sanitation following rehabilitation works.
• 32 water systems have been repaired in frontline communities.
• 53 heating systems have been restored or reinforced ahead of winter.

These interventions have already made a significant difference, and additional infrastructure work is planned for the months ahead.

Shelter & Winterization: Helping Families Stay Safe and Warm

Repairing war-damaged homes remains one of the most pressing needs in Ukraine. As of today:

• 8,491 people received repairs to houses damaged by shelling.
• 19 collective centers and social institutions have been rehabilitated.
• 7,723 individuals have received construction materials for urgent repairs.
• 19,745 households have received winterization support to prepare for colder months.

These figures reflect only the completed interventions so far. Further housing repairs and winterization activities will continue throughout the year as needs evolve.

Protection & Social Support: Addressing Invisible Needs

The social and psychological toll of war requires sustained support. To date in 2025:

• 33,683 people have accessed protection services — including psychosocial support, accompaniment services, safe referrals, and community-based protection activities.

Teams, together with our partners, have also supported evacuations and provided social accompaniment to older people, people with disabilities, and families facing complex vulnerabilities.

As insecurity persists, protection needs remain high, and additional services will continue over the coming months.

Education & Youth: Investing in the Future Even During War

Despite repeated disruptions and damage to schools, children and teachers continue striving for stability and learning.

So far this year, People in Need has:

• Supported 5,283 children and teachers affected by attacks on education.
• Rehabilitated 17 schools in areas affected by the war.
• Enabled 2,103 children to take part in catch-up classes.
• Engaged 20,236 young people, educators, and community members in youth and community programs.

These numbers will grow as rehabilitation and education activities continue across multiple regions.

Looking Ahead: A Continued Commitment

The data above represents only the impact achieved so far in 2025. Many programs are ongoing, and additional activities are planned as communities face new challenges, repeated attacks, and long-term recovery needs.

In the months ahead, People in Need will continue to:

• Repair homes, schools, and critical infrastructure in affected areas.
• Expand access to safe water and heating.
• Strengthen psychosocial and protection services.
• Support education, youth initiatives, and community resilience.
• Provide flexible emergency assistance to households affected by sudden shocks.

As the year continues, the total reach and impact will significantly increase, reflecting both urgent humanitarian needs and long-term commitments to recovery.
