Kyiv had "The Power of Support" training conference. This 2-day event was aimed at training and equipping teachers and representatives of public, charitable and religious organizations working with children and teenagers, because in times of war, they are extremely vulnerable.
The first "Safety Zone" camp in Lviv was a success! Children not only had a great time but also learned a lot about safety in different situations. Through engaging activities, interactive games, and practical exercises, they developed the skills to act wisely and responsibly.
"Helping Hand for Zaporizhzhia" PSS club for children provides psychosocial support to them. The club offers art therapy, group games, and training sessions that help children restore emotional balance, cope with stress, and find support among peers and adults.
A training conference for teachers and representatives of non-governmental, charitable and religious organizations working with children and adolescents was held in Lviv.
The purpose is to build ministers in the face of current challenges caused by war through such training.

Helping Hand for Zaporizhzhia
We continue to work on the cash assistance project for vulnerable populations in Zaporizhzhia region. This initiative is aimed at supporting those who have found themselves in difficult circumstances due to the war.
Dream Hub is more than just clubs for children. This is a safe space where kids can receive psychosocial support, develop new skills, and enjoy recreation in a friendly environment. Here children learn through play, build emotional intelligence, strengthen mental well-being.
Recently, our team visited Dream Hub in Kharkiv. This is a special place where children can find peace, relax and receive much-needed psychological support.
During these challenging times such assistance is invaluable.
Recently in Lviv, we gathered those who work with children affected by war. Over the two days, participants gained new skills, tools, and techniques to support children in building their resilience.
