In the Lviv region, there are currently over 200,000 people who have been forced to leave their homes due to the war. Behind each number is a family that has lost their home and dreams of finding stability once more. Without access to housing and employment, it is difficult for people to feel stable, confident about the future, and integrate into the local community.
We emphasise that housing is not just a shelter. It provides a private space for recovery and development. When people have housing and stable work, they feel in control of their lives, which encourages them to invest in the community.
Special attention is given to children. Many of them are still studying online, but school is not only about lessons; it is also about social life. In-person learning promotes socialisation and restores a sense of normal childhood, which is vital for every internally displaced child.
These issues were discussed during the “Together Towards Solutions” meeting held in our region. Our task is to provide people in the Lviv region not only with a roof over their heads but also with a sense of a real home.
