AIDRom is here to help since the beginning of the Ukrainian refugee crisis
Since the beginning of the Ukrainian refugee crisis, AIDRom is helping, being involved in refugee management by providing a complex system of emergency assistance, both at border crossings, in accommodation centers, and in various locations.
In April 2022, AIDRom applied for the ACT -UKR221 Call and is considering providing a complex assistance system designed to facilitate the integration of more than 2,000 Ukrainian refugees into Romania. The system involves providing counseling and social and legal information, social assistance (social vouchers for food, hygiene, and drugs), providing medical consultations, subsidizing costs for participation in the national education system, support in accessing the labor market, cultural integration, creating an inter-institutional network between authorities and NGOs for a period of 1 year.
Since June 2022, AIDRom contributes through its projects to the integration of refugees in Ukraina.
Church response to refugees, “I’m seeing the image of God in you”
The Ukrainian crisis called for prompt responses, and churches were among the first responders. Especially in such moments, “our goal is to bring the churches together to work in a diaconal way”, says Elena Timofticiuc, Secretary General of AIDRom – the Ecumenical Association of Churches in Romania. Her statement comes after of a visit by a joint delegation of the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the ACT Alliance to Hungary, Romania and Ukraine in March 2022.
The members of the delegation showed that finding accommodation for refugee families remains a challenge, but also that people can prove necessary and appreciable acts of humanity in this context: “you see people treating refugees with so much respect” – Prof. Dr. Isabel Apawo Phiri, Deputy General Secretary of the WCC
Peter Prove, the director of international affairs of the WCC, is impressed by “the reception and extraordinary hospitality that I saw in Romania and in Hungary”.
Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, Secretary General of the ACT Alliance, stated that “I saw a lot of solidarity, involvement and support from the people affected by this disaster”.
Thorsten Göbel, Program Director of the ACT Alliance, was inspired by the strong local response from the churches and emphasized their need for information and legal assistance, spiritual and psycho-social support.
Ionuț Lucian Zota, social worker AIDRom, highlighted that currently, people are most in need of information: “they need to know where to stay here for a few days, or how to get to western countries”. “Some of them need help to find a job, to find food,” he said. “They are happy to receive hope but you don’t solve their problems—their minds and their hearts are over there, in Ukraine.
ACT Alliance, WCC delegation visits Hungary, Ukraine and Romania with a focus on humanitarian needs, church response
A delegation from the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the ACT Alliance visited Hungary, Ukraine and Romania, from March 14-18, focusing on humanitarian needs and the church’s response. The delegation included the Secretary General of the WCC, Prof. Dr. Isabel Apawo Phiri, the Director of the Commission for International Affairs of the WCC, Peter Prove, as well as Rudelmar Bueno de Faria, Secretary General of the ACT Alliance.
Together with AIDRom representatives, the delegation visited the border crossing points between Ukraine and Romania, learning current information about the needs of refugees.
The delegation was received by HE Iustin, the Bishop of Maramureș and Sătmar, who presented the dynamic and collaborative position of the Romanian Orthodox Church, actively involved in the reception, accommodation and transit of Ukrainian refugees.
His Eminence Iustin explained to them that the Romanian Orthodox Church is very dynamically and actively involved in the reception and in taking Christian care of all those crossing the border into Romania, whether they stay or transition freely on the way to western countries. The Ukrainian refugees are provided with medicines, food, clothes, accommodation or guidance to destinations.
WCC deputy general secretary,Prof. Dr. Isabel Apawo Phiri, said that meeting with refugees and those helping them was a sharp reminder of the appalling and escalating impact of the conflict in Ukraine on civilians. “The women, men and children of Ukraine are suffering from what appears to be ongoing indiscriminate attacks,” she said. “Hospitals, schools, kindergartens and residential areas—refugees are pouring forth from these spaces with firsthand stories of deep trauma.”
Peter Prove, director of the WCC Commission of the Churches on International Affairs , said that, as international humanitarian law continues to be disregarded, civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict. “It is deeply disturbing to witness the effects of what may constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity,” said Prove. “Humanitarian aid groups and churches are unified in calling for a ceasefire and negotiations to end this tragic conflict”.
Appeal to all citizens of Romania and the EU, regarding the terrifying situation in Ukraine – REFUGEES NEED HUMANITARIAN AID, URGENTLY!
At the moment, the AIDRom Association has mobilized teams, on the borders with Ukraine, who work in the field 24 hours a day and who provide refugees with food, hygiene and other basic products, such as blankets and clothes. The donations, made available, were offered by the traditional partners of the association, from abroad, as well as from the country (Archdiocese of Suceava and Radauti – Archdiocese of Suceava and Radauti, Food Bank, local companies, CocoRico, Sense- Inspired by nature)
However, the number of people heading to the Romanian border is growing. That is why we call on your help to support the Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.
All donations are coordinated by the Ecumenical Association of Churches in Romania AIDRom and are distributed to accommodation centers and in areas where refugee camps are installed.
