OTB FOUNDATION ACTIVATES IMMEDIATELY FOR UKRAINE EMERGENCY

After first accepting the urgent appeal of UNHCR to support people and families forced to flee within national borders and to neighboring countries, the Foundation activated a support network for people leaving the country

From the organization of buses to bring fleeing Ukrainian refugees to the country, to the collection of materials to cope with emergencies (drugs, medical supplies, clothing and toys), to the organization of transport to Ukraine of the collected material.

The Foundation was then activated to manage the reception for Ukrainian citizens who will find hospitality in the territory of the Province of Vicenza, taking charge of the management of the COVID procedure for arrivals, with constant contact with the Prefecture and the associations of the territory, as well as for the accommodation of reception facilities on the territory (families or entire buildings).

Given the number of arrivals, also the recruitment of professional figures essential for the performance of the reception (mediators, psychologists and social workers) and the tracking of all the availability both in terms of hospitality and in terms of job placement were necessary activities taken over by OTB Foundation
