Next will be...

You might be interested in reading about how we got through this difficult year. And if you're not interested, it's still important for us to tell you about it 🙂

Having just recovered from the February shock, we turned the FortelUA craft hub into a humanitarian headquarters. In the first days of the war, many people who came to Chernivtsi to escape the war found shelter here.

Since March, we have started a program to distribute humanitarian (food and hygiene) aid, which has been received by 31,500 people. We have been providing humanitarian and technical assistance to social institutions, public organizations, and communities in need in Ukraine.

At the first opportunity, we returned to conducting activities - for children, women, for all who needed psychological, informational, art-therapeutic support. We expanded the range of activities thanks to project support from donors, which we will talk about below. We reached 1,474 adults and 816 children with our trainings, discussions, and cultural events.

Since November, a program of financial support for IDPs and needy Chernivtsi residents has been launched, with 1,207 people participating.

We implemented two cultural projects with our favorite theater "We Believe!" from Dnipro - in Ukraine and Vienna

❤️In order not to turn this post into a dissertation, we want to move on to gratitude. Which, first of all, deserve those people who have joined our team over this long year. Thanks to their readiness for any work, tirelessness, dedication, love for people and sense of humor, we were able not only to survive, but also to work for months without losing hope and enthusiasm. There were many days and nights that we will remember when the war is over - if not the worst time, in which we were strong and together

Everything that has been implemented has been made possible with the support of our donors:

Volkshilfe Austria

"Neighbor in Need"

Arbeiterwohlfahrt International

Federal Ministry for Social Affairs, Health, Welfare and Consumer Protection of Austria

ISOLYATSIA. Platform for Cultural Initiatives.

European Union in Ukraine

Carpathian Fund

Foundation of France

❤️Thank you for the wonderful cooperation, for supporting Ukraine and all the opportunities that we managed to create

We wish you a victorious next year! And we will be able to do even more in it💛💙

Happy New Year, friends!🎄
