🚨 New Research Alert 🚨 A recent report by Depaul International reveals the devastating impact of the conflict in Ukraine on homelessness. Nearly 1 in 4 people sleeping rough in Ukraine have been displaced by the war. With 3.5 million forced to flee and 2 million homes destroyed or damaged, many are left without jobs, support networks, or belongings. The report highlights the urgent need for permanent housing, medical aid, and legal support. Let’s raise awareness and support those in need! 💙💛 #Ukraine #Homelessness #DepaulInternational Learn more: https://ow.ly/bokT50TFcnY

On Thursday, September 26, St. John’s University honored regional leaders and social-service organizations whose values reflected the University’s Catholic and Vincentian commitment. The awards were presented during the annual Vincentian Convocation ceremony, a highlight of the University’s celebration of Founder’s Week. At this event, the Famvin Homeless Alliance (FHA) was awarded the “International Medal,” accepted by Mark McGreevy, Chief Executive of DePaul International Group, "in recognition of its contributions to the global Vincentian community.

The article we share with you highlights the inspiring work of the #KumiCommunityFoundation (KCF) in Uganda. Founded by Elspeth Robinson in 2002, KCF focuses on alleviating the suffering of the most vulnerable, particularly in remote regions. Their efforts include providing essential medical care, building homes, and supporting education for disadvantaged and disabled individuals. Since 2020, KCF has expanded its housing initiatives through the #13HousesCampaign, building around ten houses and repairing many more. It’s truly heartwarming to see such dedicated efforts to transform lives.
