Isdefe - ACNUR Campaign to Respond to the Emergency in Ukraine

Four thousand Euros was the amount collected from Isdefe staff to benefit refugees from Ukraine.

The funds were raised via an online drive launched by the Isdefe CSR Unit.

In collaboration with the campaign carried out through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) the Isdefe CSR Unit launched an effort in March to facilitate humanitarian aid donations.

In this way UNHCR gained support to continue to provide assistance to people who have been forced to flee their country.
