- 394 people, including 114 children, stayed in the temporary house. We gave them SIM cards, necessary things and food to facilitate their first days in a new place.
- We launched a rehabilitation program. Families who continue to live in Ukraine came to us for a couple of weeks to spend some time in safety, in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, to gain strength and return home.
- We moved to the new house of Priestanishte. There is more space for internal activities aimed at supporting and adapting refugees. We have held more than 400 such meetings.
- 180+ volunteers have joined the team: tutors, drivers, psychologists, designers, copywriters, translators, photographers, videographers, etc. – all of them are working to help refugees learn about us and get the necessary support.
