Companies all over the world have been putting efforts forward to combat the horrifying events that are occurring in Ukraine. Airbnb is helping Ukraine in a unique way by providing housing for the people of Ukraine who have been uprooted and displaced from their homes. The large outpour of support for the people of Ukraine has been flooding social media platforms, such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and more. Each platform is using their specific tools to help those in Ukraine in the best way possible; and Airbnb is putting their magic to work.

How To Help

Airbnb is allowing people across the world to support and house the people of Ukraine with their new organization to “host a refugee”. They are helping the 100,000 refugees that are fleeing Ukraine due to the invasion and disruption of Russian forces. So – are you wondering how Airbnb is helping Ukraine? Here is what you can do: make a donation or offer a place to stay.

By making a donation, you are helping connecting people with short term housing all over Europe. You are also allowing Ukrainian refugees to stay in these short term houses for completely free. Though, if you are donating you must consider that donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed under your local tax laws.

Be a Host

Another way Airbnb is helping Ukraine is by encouraging people around the world to offer a place to stay. Therefore, if you can provide a bed and simple amenities for a refugee to stay either for a few days or a few weeks, Airbnb makes it easy for you to lease your place to refugees. If you host guests, Airbnb has nonprofit organizations that will check in on the refugee guests before, during, and after their stay.

Airbnb is helping Ukraine in a unique, but very powerful way. You can do your part by going to Airbnb.org and either donating or offering to host refugees.
