In October, Children New Generation continued its essential mission of providing aid to those affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Through evacuations, shelter operations, and educational programs, we were able to reach hundreds of individuals, ensuring their safety and support in challenging conditions.
KEY FIGURES:
159 people evacuated, including 8 children and 7 individuals with disabilities.
88 transit residents and 91 permanent residents housed in our Dnipro shelter.
112 beneficiaries participated in Dream Center programs, including 27 individuals with disabilities.
In the Pokrovskyi district of Donetsk region, we distributed: 36,979 food kits, 57,200 loaves of bread,

Evacuation: Two Months of Lifesaving Missions
In October, we marked two months since the start of evacuation missions from the Pokrovskyi district of Donetsk region. The situation remains critical, with intensified shelling and constant threats to evacuation routes.
Evacuations have become increasingly dangerous due to attacks on evacuation points and roads. To address these challenges, our evacuation team participated in an extreme driving masterclass, equipping them with the skills necessary to operate under high-risk conditions and ensure the safety of evacuees.
Shelter Operations: Providing Safety and Stability
Our Dnipro shelter continues to serve as both transit and long-term housing for displaced families. In October, 88 transit residents were provided with temporary housing, including 62 elderly individuals.
Our shelter hosts 91 permanent residents, including 20 individuals with disabilities and 87 internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Thanks to our dedicated team and partners, residents receive not only safe housing but also assistance with clothing, hygiene items, and other necessities.
