Evacuation Efforts in Donetsk Region
In August, the situation in Donetsk’s Pokrovskyi district remained dire as Russian attacks intensified, making evacuations more urgent. Our team coordinated missions to help residents flee dangerous areas, rescuing 102 people, including 13 children. Among the evacuees were 7 people with disabilities and 54 elderly individuals. These missions are critical as we strive to ensure that no one is left behind amidst escalating violence.
Creating a Safe Haven at Our Shelter
Our shelter in Dnipro provided a place of rest and recovery for those displaced by conflict. We welcomed 146 transit residents in August, offering them safety and support during their short stays. For 11 individuals, including 9 elderly people, the shelter became a new permanent home where they can rebuild their lives.
Dream Center: Supporting Children with Disabilities and Their Families
Thanks to the continued support of World Vision International and KBF Canada, our Dream Center is flourishing. This August, the center served 67 children, 27 of whom have disabilities, through specialized programs. Parents also benefited: 14 mothers completed an intensive ABA-therapy course, equipping them with tools to help their children’s development.
The Dream Center offers essential services, including multisensory spaces. With inclusive daycare groups serving both children with autism spectrum disorder and neurotypical peers, the Dream Center is a vibrant and nurturing environment for learning and growth.
Empowering Youth Through Camps and Workshops
Our Youth Center hosted 32 adolescents throughout August, providing summer programs that included art, sports, and life skills workshops. These activities help teenagers from displaced families integrate into the community, build new friendships, and regain a sense of normalcy.
Essential Food and Water Distribution in Donetsk Oblast
In partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), we provided food aid to 66,830 residents of the Pokrovskyi district in August. This included monthly food kits, bread, and ready-to-eat rations. With security concerns rising, we conducted double distributions in several areas to ensure that 11,016 people had enough supplies for the coming months.
Additionally, our team distributed free drinking water to 33 elderly residents of Pokrovsk, helping them stay hydrated during this challenging time.
Looking Forward: Strengthening Our Impact
Reflecting on August, our commitment to supporting those in need remains stronger than ever. The second cohort of parents is set to begin the ABA therapy course in September, and our shelter team is preparing for an increase in arrivals as conflict zones expand.
While we celebrate small victories—like providing a child with developmental challenges the tools to thrive—we recognize that much is still to be done. With every evacuation, every meal delivered, and every class at the Dream Center, we bring hope to those affected by war.
Our team, partners, and volunteers continue to stand together, working tirelessly to ensure safety, dignity, and opportunity for every individual we serve. Thank you for being a part of our mission.
