Localization Officer in Team4ua

Introduction:

In 2024, Ukraine announced a mandatory evacuation due to increased shelling and air attacks by Russian forces on the frontline regions. Daily shelling of Kharkiv Oblast, Sumy Oblast, and Donetsk Oblast has led to significant internal migration, and more than 15,000 civilians in Pokrovsk are under immediate threat. According to the UN, more than 300,000 people in these regions need support, but financial resources for evacuation are limited.

The project "Emergency assistance and evacuation support" from Team4UA offers a comprehensive solution that provides safe transportation and temporary housing for civilians from risk areas. The TERA Consortium, created by Team4UA together with Ukrainian NGOs, includes East SOS as a leading associate partner, as well as the Charitable Organization Aid Coordination Center and Angels of Salvation as members of the Consortium, coordinating evacuation efforts with a focus on vulnerable population groups.
