WASHINGTON– The Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions today will host a webinar titled “Crisis Response Efforts by Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions - Stories from Ukraine and Turkey” June 22.
The webinar will begin at 10 a.m. E.T.
The Foundation noted that through its “Project Storm Break initiative, it provides relief support across the globe to credit cooperatives facing crises.
Assessing Needs
“In 2022, with the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, WFCU launched the Ukrainian Credit Union Displacement Fund to support over 100 credit unions and their members in Ukraine to withstand the conflict and recover from it where possible,” WFCU said. “In 2023, after two major earthquakes struck southern Turkey on the same day, WFCU launched its Turkish Cooperative Earthquake Relief Fund and worked closely with Agricultural Credit Cooperatives of Turkey to assess the greatest needs for their 150 cooperatives located in the impacted region.
This virtual event will feature stories of resilience from the credit cooperative movements in Turkey and Ukraine, and provide an update of WFCU’s contribution to these amazing efforts.”

According to the Foundation, the webinar will feature storytelling from:
- Tetiana Yakovenko, branch development director with Ukraine’s largest credit union – “Kredyt-Soiuz”
