ProAction - Access to quality educational and social services for children and families in Ukraine

The full-scale war that began in February 2022 contributed to the displacement of thousands of families to safer areas. As of 2023, the number of IDPs stood at 3.6 million, and those who had returned to their homes at 4.5 million. The frontline areas and peaceful cities in the East, South and North of Ukraine continue to suffer from constant shelling. Despite all the assistance and work done last year, many children and adults still need psychological support, material assistance, and access to quality services and education.

Terre des hommes in Ukraine and four partner organizations - Charity Fund "Zakhid Shans", Charity Fund "Posmishka UA", NGO "World in Colors", and NGO "Rehabilitation and Recovery Center" will continue to implement the "ProAction (Protection in action) - Access to quality educational and social services for children and families in Ukraine" project, in three regions: Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsky, and Dnipro, and will support families with children affected by the war.

This year we will work to:

  • Support 30 learning spaces created and equipped last year in educational institutions to improve access to educational opportunities;
  • Involve children and youth in decision-making processes regarding the functionality of these learning spaces;
  • Strengthen the existing system of social services for children, youth and families and provide case management services to reduce and mitigate negative coping strategies;
  • Provide multi-purpose cash assistance to war-affected children, youth and their families;
  • Provide psychosocial support to war-affected children, youth and their parents/guardians through MHPSS services in targeted regions.

The project will run until January 2025.

The project is being implemented:

The project "ProAction - Access to quality educational and social services for children and families in Ukraine" is implemented by five partner organizations - Terre des Hommes Foundation in Ukraine, Charity Fund "Zakhid Shans", Charity Fund "Posmishka UA", NGO "World in Colors", and NGO "Rehabilitation and Recovery Center", with funding from the Swiss Solidarity Foundation.
