Activities

The American Multinational Jewish Federation (AMJF) collaborates closely with local partners in Ukraine and Moldova to assess and address the needs of displaced individuals, vulnerable communities, and others affected by war or natural disasters. Through a robust network of academic institutions, NGOs, religious organizations, and business leaders, AMJF develops targeted programs to support people impacted by both manmade and natural crises.

AMJF also leverages its extensive contacts in the United States to inform program development and secure essential supplies for shipment to Moldova and Ukraine. Thanks to the generosity of the international freight service Meest-America Inc., AMJF has established a continuous stream of humanitarian supplies – shipped at special humanitarian aid rates – to its academic and NGO partners on the ground, enabling effective distribution to those in need.

Below are examples of AMJF’s ongoing activities and programs:

Humanitarian Aid Coordination Headquarters of Odesa Region

The Humanitarian Aid Coordination Headquarters of the Odesa Region works with local NGOs and civil society organizations to identify urgent needs and distribute aid across the Odesa region and Southeastern Ukraine. The American Multinational Jewish Federation (AMJF) supports these efforts by providing winter supplies, thermal emergency blankets, first aid kit components, feminine hygiene products, emergency lights with phone chargers, and power banks for laptops, phones, and lighting.

The Humanitarian Aid Coordination Headquarters of the Odesa Region also plays a vital role in promoting AMJF and CUMAI programs and training workshops. It serves as an effective conduit for identifying and connecting with vetted local organizations, enabling the expansion of educational, veterans’, and mental health initiatives.
