A PRINT SALE FUNDRAISER
TO SUPPORT UKRAINE
10 March – 24 March 2022
Our third print sale fundraiser was organized to support those affected by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Funds were raised to support World Central Kitchen, a non-profit devoted to providing fresh meals in the wake of humanitarian, climate, and community crises. 45 international artists, including several Ukrainian names, donated a print towards our cause. Many of the prints evoked notions of freedom, solidarity and resilience. Pictures for Purpose for Ukraine generated a staggering €252.350 in sales over a two-week period.
World Central Kitchen
Founded by Spanish chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen is a team of first responders, providing fresh meals to those who need them most in humanitarian, climate, and community crises. In each instance, their work asserts that a nourishing meal in a time of crisis is more than a plate of food – it’s hope, it’s dignity, and it’s a sign that someone cares.
WCK began serving hot meals within hours of the initial invasion of Ukraine, and quickly set up at eight border crossings with Poland. WCK’s Chefs for Ukraine response has grown rapidly, and is distributing nourishing food and fresh meals across the region, including Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, and Romania. In addition to field kitchens, WCK works with local restaurants, caterers, and food trucks to provide fresh and comforting meals at border crossings and shelters, as well as distributing bulk food products and dry goods to restaurant partners in Ukraine to supplement the strained food supply chain.

WHY SUDAN NEEDS URGENT SUPPORT
Since war broke out in April 2023, conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has triggered the largest displacement and protection emergency in the world today. Attacks on displacement camps, hospitals, and critical infrastructure, as well as looting, torture, and widespread conflict-related sexual violence, have displaced almost 12 million people. The situation in Sudan has become a regional emergency with global implications that cannot be ignored. The ripple effects are being felt across an already fragile region, placing enormous strain on host communities, local services, and humanitarian operations, while the needs of those affected continue to grow.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights, and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution. The UNHCR remains on the ground in seven states across Sudan, as well as working in neighbouring countries to protect and assist refugees and returnees. Despite insecurity and access constraints, teams continue to provide life-saving support, coordinate emergency response, and advocate for protection and access to basic services.
