MAXXI donates proceeds to support Ukraine emergency with Red Cross, UNHCR and UNICEF

" MAXXI has decided to donate all receipts on Sunday, Feb. 27, and Sunday, March 6, to the fund established by UNHCR Italy - UN Refugee Agency, UNICEF Italy and the Italian Red Cross - Italian Red Cross for #emergencyUkraine," the museum announced in a note. The decision is also shared with Contrasto, partner of Sebastião Salgado’s exhibition, Amazonia. "We appeal to our audience to participate together in this concrete solidarity effort," it added.

The"Ukraine Emergency" fundraiser is jointly promoted by the Red Cross, UNHCR and UNICEF and can be participated in through the solidarity number 45525.

In fact, the three organizations actively engaged in international crises have kicked off the fundraiser to bring concrete solidarity help. UNHCR aims to provide life-saving protection to families forced to flee their homes. “The humanitarian consequences on civilians will be devastating,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. “There are no winners in the war, only countless lives at risk.”

UNICEF says more than 510,000 children are in need of humanitarian assistance, and the organization will continue to bring medical assistance, clean water, personal hygiene kits and psychological support. The Red Cross, in light of the escalating violence and serious humanitarian emergencies in Ukraine, is committed to supporting needs such as lack of water, food and electricity and health care.
