EVACUATION AND SUPPORT FOR ORPHANAGES FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE RUSSIAN – UKRAINIAN WAR
Olasubomi’s response to the Russian-Ukrainian war exemplifies her unwavering commitment to humanitarian efforts in times of crisis. As the conflict escalated, she took immediate action to support those affected, particularly focusing on refugees and vulnerable populations. Her dedication to this cause led her to travel to war-torn Ukraine, where she provided critical assistance to those in need.
During her mission, Olasubomi risked her life to save others – she faced significant challenges, including the threat of missile fire and the dangers associated with evacuating orphans from conflict zones. Her bravery and determination to help those less fortunate were evident as she navigated these perilous situations.
As noted by:
Lightup Volunteer in Ukraine: Mykhailo Kostin
“Olasubomi deserves to be honoured and celebrated for her exceptional courage and the great impact she made by putting her life on the line to save many Ukraine orphans.”
Despite her on-the-ground efforts, Olasubomi mobilized resources and support from various organizations to provide ongoing assistance to those affected by the war. Her ability to create networks and partnerships has been instrumental in amplifying the impact of her work, allowing her to reach a larger audience and provide more comprehensive support.
Olasubomi worked with at least 300 Ukrainian orphans, evacuating some to safety as well as providing support for others. (Age range: 3 years to 16 years)
