Together with our partners, we have successfully completed the implementation of the large-scale HOME project — Hub for Education Opportunities and Mutual Support — in the city of Lebedyn, Sumy region, and the settlement of Olshanske, Mykolaiv region.

Throughout this time, we worked to ensure that children and adults in communities affected by the war had reliable support and opportunities for recovery.

Behind every number in this report is a child smiling again and a family that has felt safe. Timely support for such initiatives becomes a source of resilience for entire communities.
