Support for Ukraine

At a time when the usual life of many people in Ukraine collapsed within a few days and thousands of people went to Europe, including Latvia, in search of asylum, we started supporting Ukrainian asylum seekers by attracting the funds of both local donors and the international SOS Children's Villages Association.

The goal is to provide all kinds of support to children and families who have come to Latvia from Ukraine as asylum seekers. The focus of our activity is on the most vulnerable part of society - children, new mothers and families.

Specialists in various fields work so that asylum seekers from Ukraine orient themselves and adapt to the new conditions as quickly as possible, so that people's lives return to their usual daily rhythm - children continue to study, play sports and develop their talents, parents work.

We have especially thought about expectant and new mothers, ensuring the support of emotional first aid specialists (PEP mothers), organizing support and training groups throughout Latvia.

We want to provide all possible support and help to asylum seekers from Ukraine to start an independent life and become a part of our society for the time when Latvia is their home. And when the time comes, people will be able to return home to Ukraine, full of strength and in a positive mood.
