Resilience Centre for War-Affected Families

In September 2025, the signing of the project contract marked the official launch of the four-year ‘Resilience Centre’ project in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
Resilience – mental fortitude – is essential for survival, especially in times of war.
Our project partner, the NGO Neemia, is further developing and expanding existing services: trauma-sensitive training, psychological first aid, crisis intervention, and legal and financial counselling.One focus is on the further training of skilled workers.
The project is partly funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Center for Child-Centered Education, Inclusion and Social Services

Training courses for teachers, social workers, administrative staff and foster parents on the topics of ‘inclusion’ and ‘child-centred education’ by international experts. In addition, model curricula for schools and corresponding teaching and learning materials are developed and made available.

Aid for Orphans

"Transcarpathia without orphans" is the name of the project that is working to make orphanages superfluous in the region. Instead, orphans are integrated into foster families, which are accompanied, trained and supported over the years. 

Integration

Many war refugees from the east of the country come to the region around Uzhgorod. Their accompaniment, support and integration have become increasingly important in recent years.

Events

Every year, over 1,400 children take part in the multi-day Explorer Camps in summer, where children and young people are supported in their personal development and encouraged in a playful way.
