Activities and Testimonials

The American Multinational Jewish Federation collaborates with its partners in Ukraine and Moldova to distribute essential supplies and initiate programs that cater to the needs of displaced individuals, vulnerable communities, and other individuals affected by the war. AMJF’s local NGO partners assess the requirements of the affected people and submit requests for supplies, which are subsequently transferred to the partner NGO to distribute amongst its beneficiaries.
