Swiss Solidarity, in cooperation with SRG, is organizing a national day of solidarity for the Ukrainian population on Wednesday, March 9, 2022.
For several days, Ukraine has been suffering from repeated attacks by the Russian army. Hundreds of thousands of refugees – mostly children, women and the elderly – have fled their country and are seeking safety in neighboring Poland, Moldova, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary. In partnership with SRG, Swiss Solidarity is calling for donations on the national day of solidarity on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, via TV and radio channels as well as online from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. SRF reports all day long on radio, TV and online about the Solidarity Day.

Swiss Solidarity is in constant contact with its Swiss partner organizations on site, which organize needs-based help. In order to ensure professional and targeted humanitarian aid, Swiss Solidarity also sends two of its project managers to the Polish border.
