Rotary responds to the war in Ukraine.
Ukraine has 62 Rotary clubs and six satellite clubs with about 1,100 members, and 24 Rotaract clubs with more than 300 members.
 
Rotary members in Ukraine are focused on three main activities: supplying medicines and electricity to hospitals where wounded civilians are seeking care, finding shelter for displaced families, and managing the flow of incoming humanitarian aid.
The district has acquired and distributed dozens of high-powered generators to help restore power to hospitals, businesses, and some homes. Clubs have also organized the transportation of several donated firetrucks from other countries in Europe. In addition to being used to respond to fires and other emergencies the trucks have ladders that allow utility workers reach power lines that need repair.
District 2232 has received four disaster response grants of $50,000 each from The Rotary Foundation, which together will fund nearly 50 relief projects across Ukraine. The district has also received more than $400,000 in donations from clubs around the world, which it has used to address urgent needs such as providing people with medical supplies, food, clothing, and shelter.
As members in Ukraine receive and distribute the supplies that are needed today they're also planning for the days ahead.
Humanitarian problems are going to continue long after the war itself is finished.
