Two Harvard University students have created a website connecting thousands of Ukrainian refugees with hosts around the world offering them a safe haven.
The idea was born when Avi Schiffmann attended a pro-Ukraine demonstration while visiting San Diego, where he came face to face with hundreds of Ukrainian Americans sharing distressing stories and pleading for help."I remember thinking, 'I know how to design websites with big platforms,' so how could I not do anything to help?" Schiffmann, 19, told CNN.
" "Now they can see tens of thousands of listings around the world ready for them to match with, and all they have to do is call or text them immediately," he said.The website design is simple. Refugees enter the nearest city where they hope to flee. Then they can go through available listings, each with a description of the accommodation.More than 2.5 million Ukrainians have fled their country since Russia's invasion.
