Given Ukraine’s ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis, marginalized communities, including African students and families, have been disproportionately affected by the situation; many have faced discrimination and a lack of access to humanitarian resources. NoirUnited International is raising awareness about the situation and providing humanitarian assistance to Africans and TCNs who have been stranded in Ukraine or have evacuated to neighboring countries. By providing aid and support to these marginalized communities, NoirUnited International aims to promote humanitarian equity and ensure that all individuals affected by the crisis have equal access to the resources they need to rebuild their lives.
We believe that people should be united in rallying around issues concerning Black and other marginalized communities around the world and empower those affected by the crisis.

Recognizing the trauma of war has disproportionately affected African Students from Ukraine, NUI sourced culturally responsive mental health professionals for both online and in-person therapy sessions for those in need. We also utilized non-traditional forms of therapy, such as community healing spaces and art therapy.
NUI believes in the power of agency and ensuring that displaced people are able to make individual choices based on personal needs. Using direct cash payments allowed our recipients immediate access to monetary funds to select items and pay for things they needed most.
We aimed to address the technology loss experienced by students through partnering with organizations to provide students with new, used, or refurbished computers and laptops to adequately complete their education online. In addition to computers and laptops, many students were in need of items such as cell phones and tablets to remain connected to their community and access necessary information.
NoirUnited International is proud to partner with the The Africa-America Institute (AAI), The Open Society Foundation and others on this initiative. With this generous support we have provided scholarships for African students from Ukraine who are committed to furthering their education. We believe education is the key to unlocking one’s potential.
