Olga's Story

📍Kherson is a city of brave people who love their home above all else.

The beginning of the full-scale invasion became a test of endurance for Olga.

This story is about why even the strongest need support🫂

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we were at home in Kherson.

When we heard the first explosions, we were very confused and scared. But I managed to pull myself together and calm the children.

The war changed the life of my family very much. We stayed in Kherson because we are Kherson residents and we love our city very much. After staying at home for a long time, we understand that we need to stabilize and support our psycho-emotional state.

Because children need support, development, and communication with peers. We learned about the space from an acquaintance who had already visited it and recommended contacting the specialists working there.

Have you noticed any improvement in your child's or your own condition after classes or consultations with specialists?

The condition improves every time after attending classes and communicating with specialists. It gets more cheerful. Big thanks to the best specialists. Thanks to them, we receive great positive emotions and support.

The project "Region of the Future: Education, Rehabilitation, Safety of Kherson Youth" is implemented within the framework of the multi-donor project "Strengthening the Capacity of Communities in the South and East of Ukraine through Local Initiatives (EMPOWER)", funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany (BMZ) jointly with the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
