The Caritas charitable foundation will provide financial aid to residents of the Irpin community whose property was damaged in the russian attack on 19 October. The maximum amount of aid is UAH 12,300.

This was reported by acting mayor and secretary of Irpin City Council Anzhela Makeieva.

The foundation is part of the international Caritas Internationalis and Caritas Europa networks. Its specialists will review each application themselves and decide which of those affected can receive aid.

Reception is by prior telephone invitation only. Foundation representatives will call people themselves, tell them whether they can receive aid and which documents are needed.

The foundation’s specialists held their first reception on 6 November at the Irpin administrative services centre at 2-A Shevchenka Street, at desks No. 30 and No. 31.

“When I called the foundation’s representatives and told them that Irpin needed help, it took us literally two minutes to move from talking to concrete action,” Makeieva said.

As a reminder, Irpin will pay UAH 2.2 million under the Turbota programme to owners of homes damaged in the 19 October strike.
