Our work in the field of foster care has seen significant growth in 2024. Key highlights are progress with promoting emergency foster care, collaboration on a guide for Social Workers at new Resilience Centres, and the start of a partnership with the Dzherelo Centre and UNICEF Ukraine to improve social services in Lviv, Zakarpattia and Volyn Regions.
Over 150 children in Lviv and rural communities are developing self-expression and resilience through our creative Aid in Wartime projects. This helps children who lost their homes because of war and local children who are parentless or in crisis.
Our STEP program helps teenagers who are facing challenges to become independent and successful young adults. We are building their resilience and career skills - and it's great to hear what this means to them! 291 teenagers joined STEP events in 2023, and as war affects their lives, we continue to help youth to prepare for the future.
46 women received training and support to build self-reliance through our six-month “Support is Near” project. The women and their 135 children can be more secure, as mothers gain confidence, defend their rights and become financially independent.
“Together for Children” is the motto of our volunteers who join us to bring regular activities to over 500 children in care homes, crisis centres and communities in the Lviv Region. Together we help children develop skills and build their resilience, opening up new possibilities.
We share children's experiences and how we can help on the anniversary of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Children we help have experienced bombs falling nearby, which claimed the lives of parents, siblings and neighbours. We find hope as we support their recovery and see their smiles.
Our Creative Hub is a space for learning and building resilience in children and parents who were forced by war to leave their homes or who are in very difficult circumstances.
Our social support helps families who were forced to leave their homes due to the war. With individual care from 1,451 consultations in 2023, and in partnership with others, we enable stable homes where children can thrive. Each family are accepted as individuals and we want to show you the wonderful results.
