People for People Foundation (P4P) is a collective of entrepreneurs joining forces to get as many people affected by the Russia-Ukraine war to safety as possible.

As the foundation continues to receive various inbound requests offering and requesting support, here’s what happened last week to further help those affected by the war in Ukraine:

People for People Foundation will spread awareness by participating in Dutch Startup Drinks 

To spread awareness and to further inform what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine, Joris Beckers (Co-Founder), Jesse van der Meulen (Foundation Director) and Anna Tian (Head of Communications from Kyiv) will join this Friday’s Dutch Startup Drinks facilitated by Dutch Startup Association. The team will share their current priorities and explain how other entrepreneurs can join the movement to support people affected by the war in Ukraine.
