Financial assistance to Ukrainians in Belarus: How do I get it?
Belarus has an opportunity to support families with children from Ukraine: thanks to the UNICEF program, it is possible to receive financial assistance.
Who can receive financial assistance?
Assistance can only be provided to families with children under 18 years of age (inclusive) from Ukraine who have arrived in Belarus since January 1, 2022 and still live here. Before including a family in the program, the organization will verify personal information. This is necessary in order to determine whether the family really has children under the age of 18 and whether the family currently lives in Belarus.
What is the amount of support for the program?

The amount of financial assistance depends on the number of people in a family with children. Thus, you can receive from 400 BYN (500 BYN if one of the family members has a disability/chronic illness) for a family of 2 people up to 700 BYN (875 BYN if one of the family members has a disability/chronic illness) for a family of 5 or more. a man.
