Landry & Kling provided temporary accommodations for Ukrainian refugees, including 800 children. Our hearts fill with joy when we hear the children laugh and sing, thanks to Mission of Innocents, our nonprofit organization geared towards nurturing the self-worth and healing of children displaced from their homes due to war, political or economic instability, and environmental disasters.
MIAMI, July 31, 2024 ~ Landry & Kling Global Ship Solutions, a leading company in sourcing and logistics for vessel charters, floating accommodations, and cruise events, has been recognized for their humanitarian work with displaced Ukrainians in Scotland. The company is a member of the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA), the only worldwide association that exclusively represents the stability sector.

ISOA recently presented Landry & Kling with the 2024 Global Impact Award for their efforts in providing temporary accommodations for Ukrainian refugees. This award serves as a testament to the global impact of their work and recognizes their commitment to helping those in need.

In 2022, as the Scottish Government faced a severe housing shortage due to an influx of tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees, they turned to Landry & Kling for support. Within two weeks, the company deployed two vessels to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Over the next year and a half, more than 3,000 Ukrainians, including 800 children, found safety and solace onboard these ships.

Landry & Kling's mission was to fulfill the Scottish Government's "Warm Scot's Welcome Campaign," which aimed to provide meals, accommodation, trauma support, ESOL classes, job training, and welfare for displaced Ukrainians. The ships became beacons of hope for these families, offering not only housing but also comprehensive services.

No aspect of the refugees' well-being was overlooked on board these ships. From housekeeping and laundry services to three healthy meals daily and access to medical care, Landry & Kling ensured that all their needs were met. The vessels also had recreational facilities and round-the-clock security.

Living alongside these displaced families on board the ships was Landry & Kling's CEO Joyce Landry. She was deeply moved by the plight of the children onboard and inspired by their courage and resilience. In response, she initiated and funded enrichment programs to support their well-being and provide leadership opportunities for Ukrainian adults.

These programs led to the formation of Mission of Innocents, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its mission is to bring joy to children displaced from their homes due to war, environmental disasters, and political or economic instability. Through art, music, dance, education, sports, and play, Mission of Innocents nurtures their self-worth and promotes healing.

Since its founding, Mission of Innocents has positively impacted the lives of Ukrainian refugee children in Scotland. The enrichment programs continue to thrive on land through partnerships with local community organizations. To learn more about Mission of Innocents and make a donation, visit their website.

While Landry & Kling remains committed to providing housing solutions for the global migrant crisis, Mission of Innocents is poised to expand its impact on other displaced communities. Their work offers hope and support where it is needed most. With this recognition from ISOA and the Global Impact Award, Landry & Kling's efforts have been acknowledged as a shining example of humanitarian aid in action.
