About PIN Ukraine:

People in Need (PIN) is a Czech Republic-based NGO globally working in the relief and development sectors. PIN has been active in Ukraine since early August 2014 and the humanitarian program has been rapidly expanding since then. Currently, PIN is one of the major humanitarian and aspiring development actors in eastern Ukraine providing neutral and independent humanitarian aid to conflict-affected people, as well as early recovery and development assistance in the east of Ukraine.

The PIN representative office is located in Kyiv. PIN’s field office in Sloviansk functions as the main base for PIN’s humanitarian operations in the government-controlled area and supporting office for the PIN field office in Stakhanov/Kadiivka. The total volume of the current programs is 7 million USD, funded by ECHO, OFDA, DFID, UNICEF, UHF,Czech MFA and other donors. PIN is providing assistance to the conflict-affected populations and other most vulnerable within the Shelter/NFI, WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods and Protection sectors. Currently, in the context of eastern Ukraine, PIN seeks to achieve a smooth transition – where possible – from emergency humanitarian assistance towards early and longer-term recovery, stabilization and peacebuilding efforts in the region. Humanitarian aid will continue to be provided to the most vulnerable people affected by the conflict, notably along both sides of the contact line and in non-government-controlled areas (NGCA).
