The Conventual Franciscan Province of St. Joseph, Spouse of the B.V.M., in Romania, proposed Emergency Project No. 50\/2026, entitled \u201cAid to the People of Ukraine,\u201d to ensure the continuation of humanitarian assistance for people affected by the war. Through Funda\u021bia Umanitar\u0103 Pacea<\/em> [Peace Humanitarian Foundation], based in Roman, Romania, the Province intends to support the communities of the Friars Minor Conventual in Ukraine by providing food, medicine, clothing, and other basic necessities for people in need.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the very first weeks of the war, the Province of Romania has organized relief efforts for the Ukrainian people through Funda\u021bia Umanitar\u0103 Pacea<\/em>. This work began with the project \u201cAid to Ukrainian Refugees\u201d and has continued to grow thanks to collaboration between the friars of the two countries, establishing an ongoing support service that continues to address the needs created by the conflict.
\nPrevious humanitarian missions also demonstrate the Province\u2019s continued commitment. In March 2022, the friars of the Province of Romania, together with Funda\u021bia Umanitar\u0103 Pacea<\/em>, transported aid intended for refugees sheltered at the friary in Bilshivtsi, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. In November 2023, another mission reached Boryspil, near Kyiv, delivering food, medicine, clothing, and other supplies to support the humanitarian activities carried out by the friars and their collaborators. They focused particularly on helping people living in the eastern regions of the country and areas near the front lines.
\nAs the war drags on, the population faces severe and ongoing needs. Fighting, loss of life, and the conflict\u2019s impact on living conditions make continued assistance essential. For many people, access to food, medicine, and clothing is a daily necessity, and Franciscan communities do what they can to meet these needs with the resources at their disposal.<\/p>\n

Project No. 50\/2026<\/strong> therefore aims to ensure that this work of solidarity continues. The planned activities primarily involve purchasing food, medicine, and clothing to send to Ukraine according to needs identified in coordination with the friars serving in the country.
\nSome of the requested funds will also cover transportation costs and maintenance of the vehicles used to deliver the supplies. This is an essential part of the project, since purchasing the supplies alone is not enough; the project must also ensure that the supplies can reach the friaries that are providing assistance to the people.
\nThe Province of Romania will also contribute to the project by covering logistical costs, thereby reaffirming its direct involvement in organizing and carrying out these relief efforts.
\nThe project, proposed on September 20, 2026, and scheduled to run through the end of the year, aims to address the population\u2019s most immediate needs, continuing a service that the friars have been providing for years in collaboration with the local Franciscan communities in Ukraine.
\nThrough this project, the Province wishes to renew its commitment to stand alongside those who continue to suffer the consequences of the war, supporting the work of the friars who share in the daily hardship of the people. In a setting marked by suffering and deprivation, material assistance becomes a tangible expression of solidarity and fraternity, ensuring that those living amid the precarious conditions created by the conflict are not left alone.<\/p>\n
