The project is implemented with the support of Dan Church Aid and Norwegian Church Aid in Ukraine (DCA-NCA) within the framework of the initiative «Comprehensive Humanitarian Response for Conflict-Affected Ukrainians and Citizens of Other Countries in Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Moldova», funded by the German Federal Foreign Office in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe.

The programme «Indefinite Loss» within the GIDNA project of the Future for Ukraine Foundation has been operating for over a year. During this period, 45 women have applied for help, of whom 38 have completed the support course.

As a reminder, a psychosocial support centre was opened in Mykolaiv to help families with children.
