The fund was created on a joint initiative of the governments of Ukraine and Poland.
This was announced on August 17 by Deputy Prime Minister-Minister for the reintegration of temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk on the Facebook page of the Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine.
"The foundation's mission in Ukraine is to help women who were in Russian captivity and children who lost their parents during the war. The Polish government has allocated 8 million zlotys (about UAH 64 million) to the fund. For war orphans, a monthly monetary allowance of about UAH 5,700 is provided. And the Fund will pay about UAH 80,000 to women released from Russian captivity on a one-time basis," she specified the details.
Sheptytsky Foundation will also finance psychological support for released women and their rehabilitation in health and recreation camps.
Starting today, applications for assistance from the Foundation are accepted electronically via the website - https://sheptytskyfund.pl.
