It is time to look back at the very inception of our joint initiatives to support the communities affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. More than a year ago,…

The actions of the YMCA projects supporting the Ukrainian refugee communities all around Europe are materialized in the psychosocial and integration assistance that every child and family is benefiting from.

Since the 1960’s, the local YWCA-YMCA in Uppsala has arranged day camps during summer.

The structure of Polish society has been changing for several years and the war in Ukraine has accelerated this process.

Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine up until April 19, 2022, more than 340,000 refugees have entered Slovakia.

You wake up to the news that everything that you once loved, everything you once built, that you believed in, is shattered and gone. It is the reality of the people living through the eyes of the war in Ukraine.

We are able to present a very brief update on the status and involvement of several local YMCAs in Ukraine.

The number of refugees from Ukraine who crossed the Polish border has exceeded 2,5 million. They are mostly women and children. There is also a remarkable number of the elderly. Often fleeing from war signifies the first trip abroad and facing completely new environment.

We stand in solidarity with the YMCAs in Ukraine and our members directly affected by the war. Our faith, commitment and capacities shall guide and inspire our messages and actions.
