Habitat for Humanity Romania (HFHRO) is recruiting for an Operations and MEAL coordinator- the Ukraine refugee crisis.
ABOUT HABITAT’S RESPONSE TO THE UKRAINE CRISIS
As millions of refugees flee violence in Ukraine, Habitat for Humanity is on the ground. We are supporting refugees on the move, supplying them with emergency travel kits and hotel vouchers. Habitat is also working on mid-and long-term accommodations for refugees, by subsidizing rentals, refurbishing communal spaces that can act as shelter, and supporting mid-term hosting arrangements with families who have opened up their homes. We also plan to lend our housing and construction expertise to partners who repurpose so-called empty spaces – such as unused schools and factories – to serve as shelter for refugees.
