BHP funds Ukranian relief efforts
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner BHP has pledged $5-million in funding to support the humanitarian needs of Ukrainians remaining in Ukraine, as well as those seeking refuge in neighbouring countries, amid Russia’s invasion.
The BHP Foundation will donate $2-million to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees’ coordinated response to provide shelter, food and access to medical care for the four-million Ukrainian refugees expected to seek refuge from the conflict in neighbouring countries in coming months.
The Foundation will also donate $2-million to the United Nations Ukraine Humanitarian Fund to support Ukrainian civilians remaining in Ukraine, including those living under life-threatening conditions. This will enable people to access the food, clothing, medical supplies and cash transfers they need to survive.
Foundation CEO James Ensor said that as the global community responded in many ways to the crisis in Ukraine, maintaining functional governance and social cohesion will be critical.
The Foundation will allocate a further $1-million to initiatives seeking to sustain governance and unity in the affected region in collaboration with governments and civil society organizations.
“Our hearts and thoughts are with people of Ukraine as every tragic day unfolds. We will do what we can to support Ukrainians through this time of unimaginable hardship and pain,” said Ensor.
