In wartime, in a time of destruction and real threats to life, knowing that there is a reliable place to get real help often means the only way to escape.
We are pleased to share the great news that the Volunteer - 68 team has almost completed the repair of the Family Inclusive Shelter for families from Kharkiv affected by the hostilities, including those with a disabled or elderly family member.
What will this mean for evacuated families?
The opportunity to live together with family members.
Comfortable conditions for caring for family members with limited mobility.
Support from case managers in solving legal and social issues.
Adaptation and socialization in the new environment without stress.
What we did:
We renovated and equipped the 65 m² Family Shelter.
It is a place for three families to live at the same time.
We provided inclusivity: a separate entrance, an adapted bathroom.
We have already received applications from families in need of shelter. In the shelter from NGO Volunteer - 68 , they will find family comfort, help and understanding. It is here that they will be able to adapt, cope with the psychological effects of stress and understand what to do next.
We are inspired by the fact that we have the opportunity to help people in this difficult time. We express our sincere gratitude to HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation for supporting our initiative.
