We all know at least a little about what is currently happening in our world. Russian forces attacked Ukraine on Feb. 21 and since then, have been dropping bombs on major Ukrainian cities. Cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson. In light of the events, many more fortunate people have been donating to help Ukrainian forces from home, but if you’d like to help too, here are some of the most trustworthy charities you can donate to, including some for other countries as well.

International Rescue Committee

As soon as you enter their website, the IRC has a place to donate to Ukraine. Founded by Albert Einstein in 1933, the organization has worked to help those affected by disasters throughout the world, including climate crises and war. They provide nutrition and healthcare as their main areas, two things needed desperately throughout the world. To donate or for more information, go to https://www.rescue.org/.
