The project “Multisectoral Humanitarian Assistance with a Disability-Inclusive Approach for IDPs, Returnees, Veterans, and Host Communities in Ukraine” continues its important mission — supporting those who need it most.
Nataliya’s Story: A New Path to Independence
Ms. Nataliya recently moved to the Opishnya community, where she now lives in a large household with her brother and his family, including two teenage nieces. She dreamed of riding a bicycle with the girls to the library, local store, and for rehabilitation procedures. However, due to health issues and limited mobility, that dream was out of reach on her own.
Thanks to the project, Ms. Nataliya received a tricycle adapted to her needs. She is now able to move around independently, attend procedures, and engage with others — which is incredibly important for her psychological well-being and integration into the new community.
For Nataliya, the bicycle is more than just a mode of transport — it is freedom of movement.
Valentyna’s Story: Hearing Again
Everyone in the Opishnya community knows Ms. Valentyna — a beloved teacher who dedicated most of her life to educating children. Even after retiring, she remained devoted to her profession. However, in recent years, hearing loss forced her to leave teaching and live a less active life.
Unable to afford a high-quality hearing aid on her own, the support provided by the project became a real lifeline. With her new device, Valentyna can now talk to her loved ones again, hear the voice of her beloved granddaughter, and take part in community life.
The hearing aid has become her bridge back to the life she once knew.
The project continues to work for people and alongside them. Each story of support is a powerful reminder that care and compassion can truly change lives for the better.
