Two Harvard University freshmen have launched a website “designed to connect people fleeing Ukraine to those in safer countries willing to take them in — and it’s generating offers of help and housing worldwide,” reports Rodrique Ngowi in the Denver Post.
Marco Burstein and Avi Schiffmann used their coding skills to create UkraineTakeShelter.com.
More than 18,000 prospective hosts “have signed up on the site to offer assistance to refugees seeking matches with hosts in their preferred or convenient locations,” Ngowi reports in the article.
