Registration for participation in the Project for seafarers and dockers in Germany is available

Let us remind you that in April 2022, MTWTU and the German trade union ver.di launched a joint project aimed at helping the families of Ukrainian seafarers and dockers who are in Germany because of the war in Ukraine.

Families of Ukrainian seafarers and dockers who left their homes after February 24, 2022, and who currently live in Germany can take part in the project.

Registration for hygiene, household, and children's sets is open, but boxes will be sent as they become available, as their number is limited.
