Below-zero temperatures, fresh snow, unstable or no electricity and energetic supplies make people leave war-torn Ukraine for winter. With new people arriving in Slovakia, facilities for these people need to be furnished with basics: kitchen and hygienic utilities.

IOM delivered hundreds of these items to Bardejov for people in need living in facilities under the supervision of Presov Self-Governing Region.

In November and December 2022, IOM donated more than 300 kitchen utilities like plates, cups and cuttlery. Beneficiaries in facilities will also receive more than 3,000 hygienic and cleaning supplies and 40 appliances such as irons, refrigerator and electric kettles. All these supplies are available to make basic daily needs possible for mostly women with children and elderly people.
