Ukrainian people need help.

Now our organization helps people in Kherson and Nikolaiv regions. 

Representatives of the Beryslav, Kherson and Bashtanska mobile teams, due to the destroyed administrative buildings in the villages, are often forced to work in poorly lit rooms that are not very suitable for this, or, in the absence of such, in the open air near the homes of the residents of the villages.During the Teams' activities, air alarms or explosions often sound, which greatly complicates their work. This forces representatives of mobile brigades and local residents to hide in safe places. 

As before, one of the most acute problems remains the security situation in the region, due to which the project's mobile teams are facing many difficulties during the reporting period. Under constant shelling, aerial alarms, monitoring drones, overcoming bad roads, representatives of our mobile teams reach the settlements of the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. Especially all of the above, of course, applies to the Beryslav district of the Kherson region. Representatives of the Beryslav mobile team, due to the work of enemy reconnaissance drones, are still forced to resort to camouflage and concealment of vehicles when working on the road to populated areas, as well as to use only the dark hours of the day to go to populated areas: the departure begins at 5 in the morning, and after working in the settlement, the team workers wait for dusk to return home. 

Our organization actively cooperates with the affected settlements in the Khersonsky, Bashtansky and Beryslavsky districts, providing humanitarian, psychological and medical assistance, as well as constantly informs about all available feedback channels, regularly conducts surveys and meetings with the public to assess the effectiveness of our measures and identifying new needs. 

All requests for help and requests for information, we strive to consider promptly and efficiently, providing clear channels of interaction. Any received complaints or requests for help or information are discussed by the internal team, and a person responsible for implementation is appointed. We are making every effort to quickly and adequately resolve the situation for the benefit of the affected citizens. 

During the reporting period, we covered 1871 vulnerable beneficiaries of Odesa region:

• Women with children affected by war 18-47 years old;
• IDP women (including single mothers) aged 26-65+;
• Women with disabilities aged 30-65;
• Men with disabilities;
• Representatives of the LGBTIQ+ community.

Anna is 33 years old. A single mother. Faced with a serious situation of domestic violence. Hanna felt that she depended on her roommate financially and was afraid to leave him, fearing that she would be left without means of livelihood. She often hid the abuse, fearing that no one would believe her or think she was weak. Once, Anna found out about the visit of the mobile brigade, which was conducted by the team of the Multipurpose Assistance project. After much thought, she decided to take part. She talked with the case managers and together they developed an action plan

Hanna also realized that it is impossible to remain silent about violence and that there are special organizations and social workers who are ready to help.

When Anna asked for help, the team of social workers accepted her with understanding and unconditional support. They started working on Anna's case, held meetings with her to listen to her and understand the situation.

At the client's request, social workers went to the address, where they called the police, Hanna wrote a statement, and later the abuser was evicted from her apartment.

Next, the social workers provided Anna with information about the legal aspects of the situation and how to protect her rights and the rights of the child. They helped her get legal help and support.

In addition, the psychologist of the project provided Hanna with psychological support and helped her cope with the trauma she experienced because of the violence.

Thanks to the timely help of the case manager and the team, Hanna was able to free herself from violence and start a new chapter in her life.

• The project is designed to solve humanitarian and social problems that have arisen because of military operations in the vulnerable population of Odesa, by supporting them and using the mechanisms of case management and social support.
• Cooperation and coordination with the heads of village councils of united territorial communities (UTC) is an important aspect of the successful implementation of the project. Cooperation includes interaction with the cluster system and coordinating the departures of mobile teams.
• Coordination with the heads of the UTC village council requires establishing connections and exchanging information. Joint meetings, meetings and regular data sharing help ensure cohesion and a shared approach to problem solving. A cluster system allows you to distribute tasks and responsibilities among different team members and promotes efficient work.
• This collaboration contributes to project success as it allows for increased coverage and maximized resources. Examples of such cooperation are the exchange of experience and knowledge between different communities and regions.
