WHO WE ARE
SERVICES
Helping Irish Hosts
Helping Irish Hosts (HIH) arose in direct response to the humanitarian crisis that has arisen as a consequence of the war in Ukraine. Our purpose is to empower and support individuals and communities in Ireland to host Ukrainians in their homes, safely and sustainably.
We are hosts, helping hosts. In other words, we have opened our own homes to Ukrainians in need and want to support others doing this too.
To date we have successfully facilitated and supported matches for over 1,270 displaced Ukrainians with more than 480 hosts across Ireland. We support hundreds more through our Facebook group and wider support network. We know that hosting works and that matches last when people have the right infrastructure in place to support them.
Community spirit. Positive change. Welcome. Hope. These are the impacts our actions as hosts are having on the wider community.
