Construction of modular apartment buildings for displaced persons in Kirovograd region
The Ukrainian educational platform is implementing the project together with Stichting World Partners with funding from the Dutch humanitarian organization Kerk in Actie (KIA).
The project involves the construction of two modular apartment buildings. The first one, for 4 apartments, has already been built in the city of Kropyvnytskyi. It is currently at the stage of landscaping and interior work. The second modular building, for 8 apartments, is to be completed in the village of Volodymyrivka, Kirovohrad region, by the end of the year.

Improving Protection and Social Cohesion through WASH and Protection-based support to conflict-affected population in Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhya and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
A project to equip drinking water wells in the regions affected by the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. More than 10 thousand people got access to drinking water.
Over 8 months of work, we managed to lay 5 wells in three regions of Ukraine that suffered the most after the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP's power plant. At two locations in Marganets, as well as Pokrovske, Mykolaiv and Ternuvate, our specialists drilled wells, equipped water treatment systems and installed containers for easy water collection. In some places, the drilling depth reached up to 150 meters.
«The situation in the city was critical, there was no water at all. This well solves a big problem now. More than
2 500 people in our neighborhood can now get drinking water from here», says Kateryna, a resident of Mykolaiv.
