SAVIO, civic association, has joined the conjoint initiative #WhoWillHelpUkraine, which was launched on Thursday, February 24, 2022, in response to the incipient Russian invasion of Ukraine (more information about the initiative HERE). The invasion has been condemned by our entire political representation, including the President of the Slovak Republic and the Prime Minister, leaders of the EU, NATO and other countries. Together with other Slovak NGOs, we want to show solidarity and provide our help.
In Ukraine, we have been supporting the students of the Salesian Apprenticeship School, the orphanage called the “Pokrova Family House” through a scholarship fund for a long time, and we also cooperate annually in the implementation of summer camps for children in the Transcarpathian Ruthenia region. Our help will therefore be directed to the Salesians of Don Bosco, who ask not only for financial assistance, but foremost for prayers. You can listen to a short interview with Ukrainian Salesian Oleg on the Radio Lumen website. Even in these difficult times, the Salesians remain among the young people and their families, bringing both spiritual and material help.
The public can support this fundraising by:
• depositing or transferring a financial gift directly to a Salesian mission account:
