Kolping Aid for Ukraine

The KOLPING aid for Ukraine roll! With a lot of courage, Monica, Eduard and Cornelius from KOLPING Romania brought the first aid supplies across the Ukrainian border, including clothing, medicine and food that are urgently needed on site. In the social kitchen of the Kolping Family Czernowitz, the food is already being cooked together. A total of 350 hot meals are supposed to go out there today to feed hungry people. And the aid supplies from Romania have also already arrived at other final recipients, reports Vasyl Savka, Managing Director of KOLPING Ukraine. The night was also quiet, there were no siren alarms and the people in Chernivtsi could finally sleep peacefully. Meanwhile, KOLPING Poland is happy about an extremely generous gift: The manager of a transport company handed over a Sprinter to the Association for Ukraine Emergency Aid, which offers plenty of space for relief supplies and 18 refugees. Thank you for this valuable logistical support!

2022 Lenten Project

Our 2022 Lenten Project was, once again, a success. Members donations helped support our Kolping brothers and sisters in Kenya during an incredibly challenging year of COVID, drought and economic downturn. We are proud to be able to assist with their programs encouraging self-sufficiency. We will continue our efforts in 2023. Thank you to all who contributed.
