This project is a change in the rehabilitation system in Ukraine, where patients will be treated, prosthetics, rehabilitation, inclusive housing will be built, where people will have jobs and sports. Therefore, many thanks to Freiburg for friendship and support, “said Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy.
The Mayor of Freiburg, Martin Horn, reaffirmed his intention to continue to cooperate and assist Ukraine and Lviv in particular.

As we are sister cities, we have many joint projects ahead of us, and we hope that they will only intensify. We will support the rehabilitation center that you plan to open here. We want to support refugees and promote infrastructure. In particular, we are cooperating with GIZ and today we inspected the area where social housing will be built for war victims, “said Freiburg Mayor Martin Horn.

The National Rehabilitation Center “Unbreakable” (UNBROKEN) will be the first center in Ukraine where 50,000 Ukrainians will be able to receive physical, psychological and social rehabilitation every year. The patient will not only receive a prosthesis here, but will also successfully return to a full life. The first financial donors have already joined the project: ATB, Symfony Solutions, Space Art, PZU Ukraine Group and the Swiss Embassy in Ukraine. On the day of the project presentation, the patrons raised more than 2 million euros.
