In November and December 2022, IOM Slovakia delivered to the central warehouse of Caritas Slovakia more than 6,500 hygiene kits for women, men, children and also 280 packs of diapers for babies.

Basic hygiene items often help displaced people from Ukraine who fled their home with only a few belongings, mothers with children without income and elderly people who are dependent on any help. Hygiene kits can also help to reduce living costs of people starting a new life in a new country.

These hygiene kits will be distributed from the warehouse of Caritas to different community centers. People fleeing war will be able to benefit from these hygiene kits in different regions and towns: Bratislava, Zilina, Ruzomberok, Dolny Kubin and Presov.
