A summer cruise for volunteers who supported our humanitarian programs

When the conflict in Ukraine intensified on 24 February, 2022, Katalyst jumped to action, buying supplies for the flood of people who quickly left their homes.

As hundreds of thousands passed through Moldova, Katalyst was one of their resources, delivering packages of food, clothes, blankets and hygiene kits.
But due to budget cuts, the final donations were recently made to support 1,500 families with fresh produce and water filters.

Going forward, Katalyst will be focusing on vocational programs for childcare, food service and construction skills.

It’s been a heck of a ride, thank you again to everyone who supported us, and good luck to those who are still waiting patiently to return home.
