Life (not) from the beginning: how charitable foundations help IDPs assimilate in a new city

Recently, Yana Paladieva, co-founder of the Rise of Ukraine Charitable Foundation, spoke at a forum on assistance and integration of IDPs.

Ms. Paladieva shared the vital experience of the foundation in implementing projects aimed at helping families of internally displaced persons, children from the de-occupied territories, and military and medical personnel.

The forum, in particular, touched upon the issues of supporting IDPs in their new living conditions. The participants discussed effective adaptation and integration tools that will help to improve the lives of new residents in the new community.

Among the conference participants were representatives of many charitable organizations and the government and activists who directly help IDPs solve the most critical issues.

Discussions on various aspects of IDPs’ life helped each participant develop methods and share their own positive experience of implementing IDP assistance projects with colleagues.

We want to thank the “Uniting for Action” charitable foundation for the invitation. We are extremely grateful and appreciate the opportunity to share our experience at such events.

With Rise to a better life!
