You Can Help Refugee Children Returning to School in Hungary via UNICEF

Ukrainian children who have fled to Hungary from the war need material aid and social support to start the upcoming school year, the UN’s children’s fund UNICEF has said in a press release coinciding with the opening of an exhibition of photomontages in City Hall park in Budapest.

Thousands of children who cannot attend school in their home country will soon start the school year in Hungary, it said.

Two years into the war, around half of Ukrainian children have either fled the country or are internally displaced, UNICEF said. Hungary currently hosts more than 60,000 Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children, it said.

Hungarian Reformed Church Aid, a charity, has been working in partnership with UNICEF to smooth access to education, health care, child protection services and psychological healing for Ukrainian refugees, the statement said.

The exhibition, entitled Flowers and Tanks – Artwork in the Shadow of the War in Ukraine, featuring photomontages of war-torn Ukraine and drawings by child refugees, runs through to Aug 21.

Donations to UNICEF for its work with Ukrainian children can be made at unicef.hu/ukrajnai-menekult-gyerekekert
