CARE Journeys

Why Poland?

Since the start of the war, Poland has welcomed more than 1.5 million Ukrainian refugees, the majority of whom are women and children. This visit offers a unique opportunity to understand the humanitarian toll of the war and how CARE, in partnership with local organizations, has scaled up solutions to create a meaningful impact for refugee families.
