Support for the families of Ukrainian seafarers and dockers in Germany

The Marine Transport Workers’ Trade Union of Ukraine (MTWTU) and the German trade union ver.di have launched a new charity Project to support the families of Ukrainian seafarers and dockers in Germany.

Since the first days of the war in Ukraine, MTWTU and ver.di have been doing the utmost to support Ukrainian maritime transport workers and their families, both in Ukraine and in Germany.

The Project is open to the family of any Ukrainian seafarer or docker, who was forced to leave homeland after February 24, 2022, due to the war in Ukraine and who is currently in Germany.

As part of the first stage of the Project, each such family can receive a set of hygiene products. The next stage of the project involves the distribution of household items and school supplies for arranging the life and household of Ukrainian maritime families in Germany.
